AvalonBay's East Harlem Project to Bring Affordable Housing to New Heights
As currently proposed, the project will accommodate a 130,000-square-foot school building for the School of Cooperative Technical Education (“Co-op Tech”) and will relocate the school from its block. The current Co-op Tech school building will be replaced by a 9-story school building for the Heritage High School and Park East High School, which will be relocated from elsewhere in East Harlem. Lastly, an approximate one-million-square-foot residential tower will rise at the corner of Second and East 96th Street and is expected to house between 1,100 and 1,200 units, rising to 760-feet tall.
