The six-story Hecht Warehouse tower was converted to residential and retail space while retaining the historic, iconic glass block exterior along New York Avenue and Fenwick Street. An animated new retail street with an additional 50,000 square feet of retail space, and ample garage and street parking runs parallel to the east of the tower by a partial demolition of some existing, non-contributing one-story warehouse additions. The streetscape, comprised of broad sidewalks and ample, shade providing trees, accommodates outdoor dining, sidewalk cafes and a medley of other retail stores that support the development of the project and the surrounding neighborhood.
