The model of the $190-million development, designed by Enrique Norten, principal, Ten Acquitectos/Design International, will outline a vision that the developers, 1800 Park LLC, hope will "inspire a new source of community pride in Harlem."

This is just one of a number of developments in Harlem. A groundbreaking was held earlier this week for Strivers Gardens, a $67 million residential condominium on Frederick Douglass Boulevard between West 134th and 135th streets. The building will feature 169 condominiums, 37,000 sf of retail and underground parking and is expected to be ready to go by fall 2004.

Last year, the first phase of Harlem Center, an $80-million, 300,000 sf mixed-use development was being constructed by Forest City Enterprises Inc. Located on state-owned land at 105 W. 125th St., the office building scheduled to open in early 2004 will be anchored by two state agencies. First announced in late 1999, the project falls under the auspices of the empowerment zone, a 10-year, $300-million program to stimulate economic growth through financial incentives designed to attract new private investment. The state has contributed $100 million to match the federal and New York City contributions to the program.
