Plans Filed For 8-Story Apartment Building In East Harlem

EAST HARLEM, NY — Developers have filed plans with the city Department of Buildings to construct a new eight-story apartment building in East Harlem blocks away from the East River waterfront.

The new development will rise 74-feet-tall on East 115th Street between First and Pleasant avenues, according to plans filed with the city. The building will contain a total of 17,178 square feet of residential space and house 18 apartment units, according to the plans. The building's average apartment unit will be about 954 square feet large.

Residential amenities at the new development will include bicycle parking in the building's cellar and a recreation area on the building's roof, according to development plans.

The building site is currently home to an empty lot. The lot has an active full vacate order against it issued in 2016 due to falling debris from an adjacent property, according to city records.

The developer of the new apartment complex is listed as an entity called 410 East 115th Street Investors on plans filed with the city. The firm Pinner Architecture is listed as the designer of the new building.
