Nearly a year after we last checked in on 70 West (70 West 139th Street), the brick and limestone façade is up, and the eight-story, 64-unit building is nearly ready to welcome the first owners this winter. As part of a joint venture between Parkadon and New York Housing Partnership, there will be 42 affordable units for families earning between 90% and 165% of the area median income. A two-bedroom, two-bath market-rate apartment is listed for $1.1 million.
In this article:
Both affordable and market-rate apartments feature interiors by Peter Franzese Design and Engineering, high ceilings, wide-plank oak flooring, and in-unit washer/dryers. Kitchens have glass tile backsplashes, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances. Select units have private terraces.
70 West overlooks Savoy Park and is in close proximity to Harlem’s historic churches and sites, not to mention transportation, parks and playgrounds, services, and popular restaurants. Local pride comes through in the building; through a partnership with Art in Flux, the lobby features a mosaic by Harlem-based artist Susan Stair. Additional amenities include a virtual doorman, private storage, bike room, 32 parking spaces plus electric car charging stations, and a 2,500-square-foot roof deck.
