Developer The George of Harlem LLC is now planning two buildings on the site, and a recent site visit showed that construction is set to begin. Aufgang Architects is designing.

The size of the 69 apartments (689 square feet) within indicates rentals. The elevator building’s amenities are expected to include 35 parking spaces, a bike room, and laundry room; both buildings will share a courtyard. The location will be a boon to students, faculty, and staff at City College New York and Columbia’s Manhattanville campus. For those employed elsewhere, the 125th Street subway stop is located nearby for a convenient commute. The development is expected to be completed in 2021.
