A notable milestone on Rivington Street: the construction netting has come down, revealing the full exterior of the new ABC No Rio.<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n

The four-story, roughly 8,800-square-foot building, designed by local architect Paul Castrucci, replaces the former tenement home of the longtime arts and community center.\u00a0<\/p>\n

One distinctive feature is the planting screen and green facade, which will eventually support vegetation. According to ABC No Rio<\/a>, the design serves as both a sunshade and a nod to the neighborhood’s history of community gardens and environmental activism.\u00a0The building also meets rigorous Passive House energy-efficiency standards, with high-performance insulation and other features designed to reduce energy use.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>In an Instagram post<\/a> last week, ABC No Rio said it would announce an opening date soon, though the new space isn’t expected to open until early 2027.<\/p>\n
