Construction underway on new Pipin’s development
More than a year after permits were first filed, construction on a new, six-story development at the former site of the storied Pipin’s Pub has finally begun.
The multi-million dollar project – which encompasses 9701 Third Avenue as well as the long vacant site next door once occupied by J.T.’s Restaurant – will include 20 apartments within 23,154 square feet of residential space, as well as condo-sized units, four per floor, on the five floors above.
And, with a full demolition well underway, Pipin’s co-owner Stephen Oliver – who re-located the watering hole and restaurant to a new “pop-up” location at 9023 Third Avenue, the former home of Circles Grill, late last year – is sticking to the original plan to reopen on the first floor of the coming condominium.
