Union Theological Seminary – located at 3041 Broadway, between West 120th and 122nd Street in Morningside Heights – is proposing to co-develop a condominium tower located on the campus’s northern quadrangle.

L&M Development Partners would be the developer, and the profits would go towards a needed $100 million renovation of the aging academic buildings, according to the Wall Street Journal.
