Construction has passed the halfway mark on 180 East 125th Street, a 38-story mixed-use residential tower in East Harlem, Manhattan. Designed by S9 Architecture and developed by JCS Realty, the 410-foot-tall structure will yield 711 rental units. The project will also include ground-floor retail with a supermarket, as well as a 116-vehicle parking garage. The property is bounded by Third Avenue and East 124th and 125th Streets.
The reinforced concrete superstructure is already making a notable presence over the streetscape as it rises behind a shroud of scaffolding and black netting. Crews have set up a staging area along the southern side of the property facing East 124th Street, where the project’s L-shaped footprint creates an open area for trucks, equipment, a telescopic crane, and a hoist. Façade installation does not appear to have begun yet.

Preparations for the Second Avenue subway extension are happening concurrently on a site directly northwest of 180 East 125th Street. The MTA-owned lot, addressed as 160 East 125th Street, will also give rise to a 40-story residential tower. Both properties had sat vacant for several years following the demolition of the Pathmark supermarket in 2021.

Amenities at 180 East 125th Street will include bike storage, a sauna, golf simulator, and a listening room.
The development is located just south of the 125th Street subway station, served by the 4, 5, and 6 trains. The site is also near the Harlem-125th Street Metro-North station.
YIMBY expects 180 East 125th Street to complete construction in late 2027 to early 2028.
