Architect Body Lawson Associates unveils new affordable multifamily complex that serves community needs while uplifting the neighborhood’s artistic design and cultural heritage
The acclaimed architecture, interiors and urban design practice Body Lawson Associates Architects and Planners has unveiled their design for an innovative new affordable housing complex in Manhattan’s West Harlem for low- and moderate-income families. Equipped with community-enhancing designs and amenities to offer a uniquely upscale experience, the new 169-unit building with a memorable, rhythmic cladding, which began construction last fall, is the second phase of a major 330-unit development.
Named after the Pan-African exponent and political activist, the $200 million multifamily complex Marcus Garvey Village is being developed by Carthage Real Estate Advisors, led by its president Edward Poteat.
