Rezoned to support the production of new affordable housing, this former East Harlem parking lot once owned by the City of New York now offers 179 homes for extremely low- and low-income residents, some of whom are formerly homeless.
The 12-story, 183,000 SF mixed-use building also includes a community room and outdoor deck for residents, community facility and commercial space on the ground floor, and 29 surface level parking spaces.
The project is designed to meet the requirements for certification by NYSERDA MPP, Enterprise Green Communities and LEED for Homes, as well as the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development’s Active Design Guidelines.
