National Black Theatre Launches Mixed-Use Project in Harlem
National Black Theatre (NBT) has begun construction on a permanent home at the intersection of 125th Street and Fifth Avenue. The 21-story project is being developed in partnership with LMXD and RAY.
In addition to NBT’s multi-floor space, the plans will include 222 units of mixed-income apartments and substantial commercial space along 125th Street, along with a multi-purpose communal living room. The project is especially notable for being the first to utilize New York City’s Visual and Performing Arts bonus, designed by former New York City Council member Inez E. Dickens.
Sade Lythcott, CEO of NBT, said, “It takes vision and a visionary like my mother, Dr. Barbara Ann Teer, to see into the future and what might be possible today. Buying this city block in the ‘80s ensured that National Black Theatre and Black artists from around the world could experience what home truly feels like.”
