Today we're checking in on 315 West 121st Street, an 8-unit condo rising in Harlem. Positioned on a quiet street between St. Nicholas and Manhattan avenues, the site is convenient to the express A and D trains at 125th Street, Morningside Park, and all the restaurants and shopping West Harlem offers. Though building permits were filed in spring 2014, the weeded lot laid fallow until foundation work began late last year. A recent pass by the site shows the 8-story building is now half-way up.

Published renderings show the building will boast cutting-edge design by Soluri Architecture. A dramatic diagonal slash bifurcates the all-glass façade. Sadly, the building will be greatly setback from the streetwall but such are the shortfalls of our arcane zoning today. Per the architects, the 10,500-square-foot building will hold four full-floor two-bedroom units, a duplex penthouse, and a triplex garden-level apartment.
The building is close to several new condo developments in the area. To the northwest is 88 Morningside Avenue which has a one-bedroom in contract with an ask of $995k and the 2009-condo-development, SoHa 118 which has two units available: a two-bedroom for $1.299M and a 4-bedroom penthouse for $4.75M.
