This location in Harlem has easy access to transit and is near iconic sites including the Apollo Theatre on 125th Street and the campus of Columbia University. The neighborhood has lots of history and plenty of new development, too. It has become a hot destination for developers and many buildings have been renovated, rebuilt or entirely replaced. Previously, at the site of this new condo, a former carriage house stood with neighborhood support for preservation until its ultimate demolition in 2016. The Renny, an 8-story condo with 134 units, sits on the site of the former Renaissance Ballroom and Casino while nearby at the former Victoria Theatre, the site is being repurposed as a new venue with a hotel and retail.
