Developer Jacob Fulop just filed plans for a second 99-unit building in Manhattan’s East Harlem neighborhood.
The filing brings the total number of planned apartments for 306 East 101st Street and 307 East 100th Street to 198 units. The two 99-unit projects are likely part of the ongoing trend of using New York State tax programs such as 485-x to avoid paying higher wages for construction workers when developments are 100 units or larger.
Plans for the pair of 11-story buildings call for a gym at the top of 306 East 101st Street and 5,757 square feet of outdoor recreation space, according to PincusCo, which first reported the Nov. 2 filing.
The targeted development area appears to be community baseball fields and green space at the moment, running directly adjacent to the Metro North Court apartments at 1952 Second Avenue. It’s unclear who owns the land.
LIHC Investment Group seems to be the only entity tied to ownership of 306 East 101st Street, as property records show LIHC borrowed money against the property.
Fulop has developed five new projects in the city in the past three years, according to PincusCo. He could not be reached for comment.
