Signs of Life at Old Associated Supermarket Construction Site

Looks like we might have a bit of activity taking shape at the old Associated Supermarket on 5th Avenue and 17th Street. The building, which was destroyed by fire in November 2010, had construction crews milling about this afternoon and the doors to the site were wide open.

A work permit was approved with the Department of Buildings earlier this year for the restoration of the “three story, ten family mixed use building” with no change in use of the building, so we’re hopeful that life is about to reemerge on the block.
