☞ ARCHITECTURE: Contextual on 129th Street

We noticed back in December that the stalled construction site just west of Lenox on 129th Street started up again and it now appears to be one of the more contextual new smaller developments in Central Harlem.  The limestone-looking facade with small balconies could have been the basic brick affair that usually pop up on smaller lots but the new construction mostly blends in with the older architecture on the block.  Our only major critic would be that the top cornice could have been made more pronounced by leaving the last two rows of brickwork solid but overall the building is a visual success.  Does anyone know if these will be rentals or condos?

  1. Condos by the same developer of 5 West 127th street (also an awesome development)
