HPD Plans Two Mixed-Use East Harlem Projects
The New York City Department of Housing Development and Preservation (HPD) plans to bring a new Afro-Latin Music and Arts (ALMA) Center and nearly 600 new affordable homes to East Harlem. The projects will construct mixed-use developments across two East Harlem sites.
“These incredible projects are delivering on the City’s commitment to invest in job training, youth, education, and more affordable housing for East Harlem,” said HPD Commissioner Louise Carroll. “They are also proving that affordable housing can be an anchor for the arts and the entire community’s well-being.”
In one project, the Lantern Organization and Mega Development will transform a former New York Police Department 25th Precinct parking into a 330-unit residential building. The development will also house the ALMA Center.
In the other project, the Community Builders and Ascendant Neighborhood Development will develop a site at 413 E. 120th St. Into an affordable 250-unit residential building.
