Real Estate Highlights: Avalon’s Forthcoming 96th Street Tower Dubbed “Frightening”
March 2, 2017
Quote:
DNAinfo reports that some folks in East Harlem think the proposed Avalon tower for East 96th Street is too big. Worse yet, the units slated to be “affordable” are far from it. See an earlier story we did with some new images here. Check out the many comments here. But in a nutshell, here are the two sides of the discussion:
“Too high, too dense, they keep taking away our sun with these huge skystreets . Will all these people living in this 68 story building fit on the narrow streets of East Harlem…” - jotheodorou
“[Right] so not that much different than the rest of the upper east side. But I do think a few more high rises would help even more with the tax base. And if it's nicely planned out including schools, what's the issue? I don't think the height of the building is frightening. It's just another set of floors. I'd rather go up than sprawl out.” -christine-ford
