NEW YORK | 305 West 128th Street | FT | 10 FLOORS
Project: 305 West 128th Street
Quote:
One of the last large, vacant lots in central Harlem is about to become an apartment building. The property’s longtime owners, the Fane family, have filed plans to erect a 10-story residential development on the plot at 305 West 128th Street, between Frederick Douglass Boulevard and St. Nicholas Avenue.
The complex would actually include two towers, because the lot runs through the block from West 128th to West 129th streets. It would hold 57 apartments divided across 53,074 square feet of residential space, for relatively spacious average units of 931 square feet.
Each floor would have one to four units each, and both buildings would have roof decks. The cellar linking the two buildings would also host laundry rooms, a lounge, bike storage, and a fitness center.
The development benefits from generous R8 zoning, which doesn’t have height limits and has relatively low parking requirements. The lot size, combined with the number of apartments, means that this developer doesn’t have to build any parking. The permits don’t include any, and it seems like a sensible choice, because the A, B, C, and D trains are only a few short blocks away at 125th Street.
