This East Harlem project is a development in an urban “hot zone” where New York City Mayor deBlasio and Council, as well as other government officials and community boards, are actively involved and invested in the outcome and impact of the project. This is the first of the City’s new program called “Extremely Low and Low-Income Affordability” (ELLA). East 120th Street’s site is a mixed-income, mixed-use new construction project which will consist of a 12 story building with 179 units of affordable housing. The development will include a community facility space, a commercial space on the ground floor, and 30 surface level parking spaces. Additionally, the project will provide a roof deck with lounging area and an activity space for the residents.
