Manhattan Districts 1/2/5 Garage & Salt Shed
Work is well underway on the DSNY's Spring Street salt shed, a faceted concrete structure by Dattner Architects to house 4,000 tons of salt. Rising to nearly 70 feet, the heavy, abstract form will contrast with the reflective, metallic surfaces of the new Manhattan Districts 1/2/5 Garage directly across the street, also by Dattner. The garage looks to be ready to open sometime in the first half of 2015 with the salt shed wrapping up at the end of the year.
