Houston & Ave C [NW Corner] (December 30, 2012)

According to EV Grieve, the Mobil gas station at the corner of Houston Street and Avenue C (Loisaida) was sold to a brokerage firm last year for $8 million. That will leave just one remaining gas station in the East Village (the BP at Second Avenue and East First Street). EV Grieve says, "with the unused air rights, gas stations are just too valuable on such prime real estate in Manhattan."
