Construction is complete on Inwood Living, a 17-story residential building at 3880 Ninth Avenue in Inwood, Manhattan. Designed by JFA Architects & Engineers and developed by The Jay Group, the 170-foot-tall structure spans 211,000 square feet and yields 270 rental units with an average scope of 707 square feet. The project also contains 20,000 square feet of lower-level commercial space, a cellar, one commercial loading berth, and a 41-vehicle parking garage. Twenty-five percent of the apartments are designated as affordable housing. 401 West 207th Realty LLC is listed as the owner of the property, which is alternately addressed as 401 West 207th Street and located at the intersection of Ninth Avenue and West 207th Street.
The entire building was constructed since our last update in early February 2024, when the reinforced concrete superstructure had just begun to rise above street level. The following photographs show the finished look of the exterior, which is composed mainly of white and metallic gray paneling surrounding a grid of large windows. Numerous stepped setbacks on the upper levels are topped with private terraces, and the final levels are enclosed in gray EIFS. The main entrance is situated by the southern corner.

Kinda weird, kinda boring.
david…./In what way is it boring? No shopping….business activity? Or entertainment?
I will not say I like it, but compared to the development next door it’s a masterpiece.
I’m so confused why it’s so difficult in this town to design really great affordable and lower-market rate buildings…
By comparison the new ones going up along Atlantic do look quite good.
“It’s so difficult in this town to design really great affordable and lower-market rate buildings” because of an attitude that thinks that housing for “the poor” should LOOK like housing for “the poor.” Look at post-war public housing. Attitudes have not changed. And don’t tell me “LeCorbu.”
The windows are boring.
Since 25% of the apts are affordable, the other 75% of the apartments are therefore unaffordable. But they didn’t mention the rents or even that 130% of AMI nonsense for the 25% of apts. deemed affordable. I am skeptical.
Does every new building in the 2020s have to be black and grey?
Where will I buy gasoline?! The speedway was beautiful! What a lose!
The irony of course is that so many of these value-engineered buildings with the panelized façades would look better if they were clad in just one of the colors. Instead there’s like 2, 3 or 4 shades with all kinds of weird stuff going on. This would have looked better as a simple white box.
LESS IS (ALMOST ALWAYS) MORE.
Why is the largest apartment 2 bedrooms? This is typical in these new buildings. These “modern” non brick buildings have no character and take away from the existing buildings in the neighborhood. Why wasn’t a garage included in the building plan? Lastly,I’m sure the rent for the 75% of remaining units are going to be unaffordable. 25% should have been 50% of affordable units
This is close to a subway stop and a bit of a walk to a metro north station. I see why it was put there.
