As part of the growing investment portfolio of Weissman Equities, the Mount Morris Park project in Harlem brings about positive change to an underperforming property, as well as to the surrounding neighborhood.
Improvements to the property include the conversion of a basement level apartment to retail space and includes the introduction of a modern storefront that is sensitive and responsive to the historic context of the neighboring buildings. All work on the project is subject to review at a hearing of the city’s Landmarks Preservation Committee (LPC).
The residential scope of the project gut-renovates five existing apartments. Kitchens will be installed with new cabinets, attractive finishes and modern appliances, including a washer/dryer in each unit. Bathrooms were redesigned and bedrooms will be added to the larger apartments to convert them from two-bedroom to three-bedroom units. New lighting and flooring finish off the look and feel of a tasteful and highly marketable New York City apartment.
