Construction Update: Gotham East 126th Residential
North façade from East 126th Street.
Superstructure is starting to rise at Blumenfeld Development Group's 11-story rental building at East 126th Street in East Harlem. Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) is in charge of the design, which features a 11-story volume fronting East 126th Street that extends over the center of BDG's existing retail building on the adjacent lot fronting East 125th Street. The concave shape of the north façade fronting East 126th Street will be clad in slender windows and blackened stainless steel panels that will reflect the sunlight. Once completed, the rental building will offer 233 apartments in a mix of studios, one-, and two-bedrooms, with twenty percent of the units offered under the affordable housing program.
