Mixed-Use Resi Building in Harlem Tops Out 

National Black Theatre, Ray, and LMXD have announced the topping out of a 21-story arts and culture hub located at 2031 Fifth Avenue in Harlem. 

The project will house a permanent home for the National Black Theatre, which was founded in 1968 by Dr. Barbara Ann Teer. Designed by Frida Escobedo Architects and Handel Architects, the project includes a 27,000-square-foot home for the National Black Theatre, 222 mixed-income apartments, commercial space along 125th Street, and a communal living room open to the community.  

The project is expected to open in late 2024, with the theater coming online in early 2026. It is the first to use the City’s Visual and Performing Arts bonus.
