560 Lenox Ave.
NEW YORK CITY- Fairstead Affordable has acquired Harlen Housing, a two-building, 214-unit affordable housing portfolio in Central Harlem for $75.5 million. Ariel Property Advisors arranged the sale.
The property benefits from a HUD Project-Based Section 8 contract for rental assistance and HPD Article 11 regulatory agreement, a tax incentive for new construction or rehabilitation of affordable housing carried out by a Housing Development Fund Company, a corporation formed to build low-income housing.
Fairstead Affordable plans to renovate the property to lower its energy consumption and for overall sustainability. The project will consist of in-unit renovations, including the creation of UFAS/ADA accessible units, and common areas such as the lobby, hallways and community room.
Fairstead will preserve 100% of the units as deeply affordable, targeting people earning just 25%-35% of the area median income, for a minimum of 40 years.
