At Gaylord White Houses, located at 2025 Second Avenue, the project includes renovations to a twenty-story residential tower, housing 248 apartments. The site also features the three-story Union Settlement community center, the one-story Leggett Memorial Early Childhood Center, and the Gaylord White Senior Center for a total of 184,000 square feet of renovated area.
Metro-North Plaza comprises three residential buildings of varying heights, ranging from 7-stories to 11-stories, and 275 apartments. In total, there are 278,443 square feet of renovations including two children’s daycare facilities in the complex. A newly constructed, elevated boiler room falls outside the current renovation scope but supports the resiliency upgrades of the project.

Construction is scheduled to be completed at the end of 2027. The project represents a collaborative effort with key contributions from a team of consultants including Paul A. Castrucci Architects (Enclosures), AN Consulting Engineers (structural), HRM Engineering Services (MEP), AKRF (civil), Terrain (Landscape), Bright Power (Sustainability) and BMB Building Consultants (expediting) to preserve vital affordable housing stock, enhance building performance, and improve quality of life for residents in East Harlem.
