Harlem Bespoke: The National Urban League building on 125th Street by Lenox Avenue has all the glassed windows in place so many might be wondering when Trader Joe’s will be open as an anchor commercial tenant.    This $242 million uptown development will also have a Civil Rights museum and affordable housing on the 126th Street side of the 17-story building but many are anxious to have the super popular affordable grocery store to open.   The only information we really have is that the original poster on the plywood back in 2021 mentioned that the completion date for the site will be in July 2023 and an optimistic estimation might be sometimes in the fall of this year for Trader Joe’s.   More details on what is happening at 121 West 125th Street can be found in our past post: LINK

Harlem Bespoke: The house with the bold turret tower in the charming landmarked historic district of Hamilton Heights had an asking price set at $3.4 million back in 2019 returned with a slightly lower price at $3.35 million in 2021 and was recently pulled from the market this January.  Now the distinct abode has returned with the same asking but with a different broker.  As previously mentioned, this address is centrally located on the corner of 144th Street with the express trains just a block away.

We especially love the architecture here since the building is one of the most unique in the neighborhood but the lower price is probably based on the fact that 7-unit building has been chopped up to many apartments and the interior has little original details within.  With that said, a neighboring home did add back more classic details with spectacular results in the past so thing could always turn around if the right developer comes along: LINK

Harlem Bespoke: Another free event to check out in Spring at Manhattan’s oldest historic farmhouse in the heights.  Definitely worth the experience especially if you have not visited the historic address yet.
