Two red-masonry rental apartment buildings are being erected in Harlem and designed by SCLE Architects.
They are the Balton at 311 West 127th Street, a 12-story building with some setbacks, and the 8-story Douglass Park at 300 West 128th Street.
The former is named in honor of Charles "Ibo" Balton, the director of the Manhattan Planning Office of the New York City Housing and Preservation Department, which is erecting the two developments.
Mr. Balton died in 2007.
The Balton, shown at the left, will have 156 rental units and the Douglass Park will have 70 rental units.
Ground was broken last week for the Balton and construction will begin next year on the Douglass Park.
