247 Cherry is a 79-story residential building under development in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, New York City. The building was designed by SHoP Architects, and is being developed by JDS Development Group. [1] Renderings for the building were first released in April 2016. The building will be adjacent to One Manhattan Square. [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] 247 Cherry will be developed in conjunction with two other nearby skyscrapers: 269 South Street and 259 Clinton Street. [6]
Development of the building was halted in July 2016 due to a lawsuit pertaining to a site adjacent the structure. [7] [8] In July 2018, the developers released a new plan that would also contain several improvements to the surrounding area, including a new entrance to the New York City Subway's East Broadway station, connections between Clinton Street and the East River, renovations of nearby playgrounds, and flood-resistance upgrades. [9] The city's Planning Commission also scheduled a vote on the project. [10] Although politicians and grassroots organizations opposed the project, the City Planning Commission approved it in December 2018. [11] The developments were blocked by a New York Supreme Court judge in late February 2020. [12]
