New Construction on 110th and Manhattan – UPDATE

New Construction on 110th and Manhattan   UPDATE

Three weeks ago we first reported that construction had begun Construction Begins” on 110th street and Manhattan Avenue for a new Condominium.  Well we now have an update with the final design of Manhattan Tower and information from GF55 Partners.  It appears the condo tower will stand 22 stories high making it the tallest new development in South Harlem in the last couple of years.  I believe 5th On the Park is the tallest.  At this time being referred to as Manhattan Tower it will offer a total of 69 units with direct Central Park views.

Only three weeks back there was one crane on the site and there are now two. This is a good sign that construction is moving along nicely towards a final completion date of January 2014.

We will continue to keep you posted on South Harlem’s newest development.

Construction Begins on 110th Street and Manhattan Avenue

Construction Begins on 110th Street and Manhattan Avenue

Construction has begun on the corner of West 110th Street and Manhattan Avenue.  The lot has been vacant for sometime as the previous building was demolished a few years back and finally a crane has appeared and the ground has been broken.

I spoke with one of the workmen and asked him what will be going up here he replied “Condos” (surprise).  I had dinner with someone at Melbas recently and met one of the developers for this building who had mentioned construction would begin shortly.  I believe there will also be retail space which will add to the businesses on this strip, the Bike Shop, Dry Cleaners and Cafe Amrita.

More on this story as it develops.

88 Morningside: Top-Selling Harlem Development

88 Morningside: Top Selling Harlem DevelopmentBy HarlemGuy

If you are looking to check out some real estate in Harlem today check out 88 Morningside on the corner of Morningside Avenue and 122nd Street.

According to recent reports, out of 29 new residential developments in Harlem listing new units in the second, third and fourth quarters of  2010 and the first quarter of 2011, 88 Morningside beat the competition by selling a total of 32 units during that time period.

88 Morningside (www.88Morningside.com) is a modern, 12-story residential building featuring 73 units in a mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom homes.  The remaining 35 units range in size from approximately 737 – 1,577 square feet and in price from $415,000 – $880,000.   My favorite quote from all the marketing materials is as follows:

The development is situated in a community offering a vibrant scene with numerous restaurants, lounges, shops and services.  The Studio Museum in Harlem, H&M, Citarella and Fairway are within walking distance and the nearby Harlem Piers leads to the beautiful Hudson River bike paths and Riverside Park.
