Harlem Rezoning That Could Spur 1,000 Apartments Advances
One45 project would be one-third affordable and include community benefits

The New York City Council’s Subcommittee on Zoning and Franchises and its Committee on Land Use voted Thursday to approve a rezoning for the One45 for Harlem project, which could bring 1,000 new housing units to Harlem — 338 of them designated affordable — if approved by the full council.

The project, now known as One45 for Harlem, will occupy three buildings. The largest building will include 126 units affordable for those earning 60 percent of the area median income (AMI) along with 376 market-rate units. A second building will offer 122 units to those earning 80 percent of AMI and 286 market-rate units. The third building will feature 90 units of affordable senior housing.

The project will also come with an $8.8 million renovation of the Brigadier General Charles Young Playground at West 145th Street and Malcolm X Boulevard, as well as the creation of a 23,000-square-foot technology center with community rooms; 30,000 square feet of commercial, retail and community space; and various job training, apprenticeship, and internship programs.

The project now goes to the City Planning Commission for scope approval, and will then come for a final vote before the full council.

“At a moment when New Yorkers in every neighborhood desperately need more affordable homes, the council is confronting this crisis by approving the creation of new housing that meets the needs of our diverse communities,” Council Speaker Adrienne Adams said in a statement. “As residents are facing an affordability crisis that makes it harder to live in our city, it remains critical that our city takes action to build housing and help working families stay in New York.”

The project will stop the “flight” of middle-class Harlem residents from the neighborhood according to a statement from Yusef Salaam, who now represents the area on the City Council.

“One45 will allow generations of Harlemites to remain in the city by providing quality, permanent, affordable housing,” he said. “This outcome creates much-needed affordable housing, good-paying jobs, and opportunities for the next generation to grow and prosper, setting the bar for the quality and types of developments we see in Harlem moving forward.”

1,000-unit One45 towers coming to Harlem after years of controversy

A massive 1,000-unit apartment complex dubbed “One45 for Harlem” is slated to transform a block of upper Manhattan after the City Council approved the controversial plan on Monday in a unanimous final vote, capping off an arduous yearslong process marred by setbacks and political drama.

The site at 145 St. and Lenox Ave. will include 338 affordable units across three buildings: two towers at 30 and 32 stories tall, with a third 8-story building set to contain 90 affordable senior units funded by the city’s Department of Housing Preservation and Development.

One45 will also have retail and community spaces, as well as a banquet hall and much-touted technology center.

Monday’s vote was the culmination of Teitelbaum trying to bring a version of One45 to fruition for years, and his second attempt to get it approved through the city’s land use review process after his first bid infamously fell apart three years ago.

Teitelbaum withdrew his application in 2022 in the face of staunch local pushback, including from then-Councilmember Kristin Richardson Jordan, who insisted on 100% affordability and whose opposition would have essentially doomed the project. That backfired when Teitelbaum turned the site into a truck depot, further angering Harlemites — a move he recently apologized for.
