Harlem

A proposal has been submitted to the NYC LPC for the restoration and enhancement of the Harlem River Houses, a historic public housing complex in Harlem, Manhattan. The New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) is working in collaboration with various artists to restore existing sculptures, introduce new public artwork, and install signage throughout the complex that spans from West 151st Street to West 153rd Street between Macombs Place and the Harlem River Drive.

The New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) has secured $445 million in financing to overhaul Manhattanville Houses, a public housing development in Harlem, Manhattan. The project, which is part of NYCHA’s Permanent Affordability Commitment Together (PACT) initiative, will renovate 1,272 apartments across six residential buildings, improving living conditions for more than 2,600 residents. The conversion of these units to Project-Based Section 8 housing under the federal Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) program ensures continued affordability while allowing private partners to fund critical repairs. Construction is already underway and is led by Gilbane Development Company, Apex Building Group, and West Harlem Group Assistance, with ELH Mgmt LLC overseeing property management and Goddard Riverside providing on-site social services.
