Construction is rising on 180 East 125th Street, a 38-story mixed-use rental tower in East Harlem, Manhattan. Designed by S9 Architecture and developed by JCS Realty through the entity 180 E125 Propco LLC, the 410-foot-tall structure will yield 711 rental units. The project will also include a supermarket, 116 parking spaces, and ground-floor retail. The property is located at the southwest corner of Third Avenue and East 125th Street, and has sat largely vacant since the demolition of the Pathmark supermarket in 2021.
The reinforced concrete superstructure has risen past the halfway mark and stands shrouded in scaffolding and netting. The rendering displayed on the construction board shows a gridded, rectilinear massing with a regular punched-window rhythm across the façade.

Department of Buildings filings indicate an amenity package including bike parking, a sauna, a golf simulator, and a listening room. Whether a portion of the residential inventory will be dedicated to affordable housing has yet to be publicly disclosed.
The nearest subways from the site are the 4, 5, and 6 trains at the 125th Street station on Lexington Avenue, one block west. The Metro-North Railroad’s Harlem–125th Street station is also within one block. The MTA’s Second Avenue Subway Phase 2 will eventually extend Q train service to a new terminal at 125th Street and Lexington Avenue, with a station entrance planned for the Lexington Avenue end of the block.
The construction board lists an outdated anticipated completion target of fall 2026, but sometime in the second half of 2027 is possible.
