MTA Plan for Apartments Above East Harlem Station Enters Public Review
The Adams administration has launched the public review process on the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) 125th and Lexington Rezoning application, an MTA proposal to transform a vacant lot at the corner of East 125th Street and Lexington Avenue in East Harlem into a mixed-use tower with 680 new rental apartments, including roughly 150 affordable units.
The proposed 38-story tower will sit above the future East 125th Street Q train station, the terminus of the Second Avenue Subway. The centrally located site has sat undeveloped since the closure of the Pathmark supermarket in 2015.
“Access to transit makes living in New York more convenient and affordable, and this area has all kinds of subway, bus, and commuter rail access,” said MTA Chair and CEO Janno Lieber. “With the coming Second Avenue Subway extension, this area continues to become even more attractive.”
The roughly seven-month public review process for the proposal will culminate in a vote by the New York City Council.
