1955 First Avenue Location Map

Overview of The Aspen at 1955 First Avenue

The Aspen is a seven story, 232 apartment rental in East Harlem, completed in 2004 on former city land once occupied by Harlem RBI’s “Field of Dreams” baseball fields. It was also the first project built under a city financing structure combining income restricted and market rate rentals.

Designed by Costas Kondylis and Magnusson Architecture and Planning, the building pairs two tone façades with rooftop pergolas. The development team was a joint venture of L & M Equity Participants Ltd., BFC Partners, and Allstate Realty Associates.

High ceilings and broad, loftlike living rooms recur across studio and one bedroom offerings. Many one bedroom homes have oversized bedrooms, large windows, and generous closets, while private terraces add outdoor space to part of the apartment mix.

A 10,000 square foot courtyard occupies the second floor, with the fitness center overlooking the landscaped space. A 24 hour concierge and full service doorman staff the limestone and mahogany lobby, and the building also has a tenant lounge with billiards, a package room, laundry facilities, bicycle storage, and an attended on-site garage. The building is pet friendly.
