NEW YORK—Susan’s Court, a 125-unit mixed income apartment building within walking distance to Columbia University and Central Park was unveiled in Central Harlem on Wednesday.
New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) Commissioner Rafael Cestero together with New York City Housing Development Corporation (HDC) President Marc Jahr, Artimus Construction Principal Robert Ezrapour and Citi National Director, North America Community Relations, Gina Doynow were there to celebrate the opening.
The eight-story apartment building, located at 454 Manhattan Avenue, has a fitness center, on-site laundry facilities, and a private courtyard with “landscaped gardens and beautiful wood decks,” according to a press release.
Fifty units are available for middle-income families at HUD Income Limits ($192,000 for a family of four or $134,000 for an individual), 21 units are for low-income families ($38,400 for a family of four or $26,900 for an individual), and 4 low-income units for those at or below 40 percent of the HUD Income Limits ($30,750 for a family of four or $21,500 for an individual) and 49 market-rate units.
Susan’s Court was financed by the HDC’s New Housing Opportunity Program (New HOP) to create affordable housing in neighborhoods across New York City as part of the City’s Five Borough Economic Opportunity Plan to create jobs for New Yorkers, provide long-term economic growth, and build affordable, attractive neighborhoods.
Susan’s Court was named in honor of the late Susan Ponce de Leon, a twenty-year HPD employee instrumental to the mixed income housing project, who embodied “commitment to public service, leadership, energy, ingenuity and compassion,” said a press release.
Susan’s Court was developed by Artimus Construction LLP at a total cost of $42,192,420 with contributions from HDC, HPD, and Citi, a global financial services company.
“We are proud to be part of this important project in Harlem and remain an active member of our local communities throughout the country,” said Gina Doynow, national director, Citi’s North America Community Relations.
Doynow added that, “Despite challenging times, Citi is committed to helping families and revitalizing neighborhoods.”
