The abandoned old building at 115th and FDB in South Harlem has been empty for some times now but construction apparently in picking up relatively quickly on this renovation project. Dumpsters were seen out front a couple of weeks ago on the site and a Bespoke reader just sent in a photo of a large crane lifting building materials into the upper windows. If all reports are correct, expect new market rate rental units to arrive in this area of South Harlem within a year or so.
I want to know what the plan is for the retail space!
ReplyDeletea shame they couldn't knock down these buildings and put up more modern looking buildings like the new ones in the area.. Sure, this design was chic back in the day and has some interesting details, but just does not look upscale and modern enough now.. They sure don't have the grandeur of the old gorgeous brownstones that Harlem is known for.
ReplyDeleteAndrew you Philistine!!!
ReplyDeleteAndrew, I respect your opinion but don't agree. These buildings are beautiful as they are. Adding a modern structure to the top but leaving these beauties in tact has my vote!
