Carter’s Review

"This handsome and dramatic mid-block building at 148 East 126th Street in East Harlem was built in 2020 and is known as The Smile. The 11-story building, which is also known as 149 East 125th Street and 149 Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, was erected by the Blumenfeld Development Group. It has 223 rental apartments, of which 20 percent are "affordable."

BIG, of which Bjarke Ingels is the head, is the architect. Its other buildings in the city include the rakish pyramid Via 57 on West 57th Street and the XI, a twisted, two-tower apartment complex in Chelsea."
