2605 Grand Concourse is a new 12-story affordable housing building located on the historic Grand Concourse across from Edgar Allen Poe Park, in the St. James Park neighborhood. Designing a building in such a prominent location required a design focused on the building’s massing and façade detailing compatible with the surrounding Art Deco buildings. Brick and cast stone detailing on the building’s Grand Concourse façade respond to the ornamental tradition of the streetscape including corner windows which are typical of the area.

The 93 studio, 1-, 2-, and 3-bedroom apartments are designed to follow New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development’s design guidelines, and meet Enterprise Green Communities, and NYSERDA requirements.
