Citarella Gets Evicted From It's Uptown Location

Thursday, June 18, 2009 at 8:41AM

The city is evicting Citarella from its Harlem market and repossessing the 125th Street properties because Citarella failed to complete renovations that were part of a 2001 sale contract.

The eviction notice, which comes after a multiyear legal battle between Citarella and the city, became final last week under a ruling in State Supreme Court.

Under the order, Citarella has just 90 days to vacate the premises, which consist of a retail location at 461 West 125th Street and other industrial properties at 426-458 West 126th Street. Citarella loses all claim to its renovations that it has already done.

Nuns Build a Green Home in Harlem

Saturday, January 31, 2009 at 3:39PM

a rendering of their new building with skylights and rooftop gardensThe Episcopal sisters of the Community of the Holy Spirit have lived in a trio of connected brownstones near St John’s the Devine for over 100 years but that is all about to change. The nuns want to go a darker shade of green. To archive this goal, they have sold their existing building to Columbia University and they are building a “dark green” convent in West Harlem.

In setting out to construct an environmentally advanced building, they are taking a giant step in their decade-long journey to weave ecological concerns into their daily ministry. While they have long tried to reduce their carbon footprint at 113th Street, the new convent will be a model for all to follow.

Architectural renderings of the new structure show a modern, four-story light-gray brick building. The two rooftop gardens will grow vegetables and other plants and will also help to cool the bedrooms below. Many of the internal surfaces will be made of recycled concrete and glass, and the two-story chapel will have clear glass skylights to allow abundant sunshine to filter in.

Apartment in East Harlem Sells for $15 Million

Monday, January 19, 2009 at 8:31AM

it helps that it is on Fifth Avenue... but it is still in Harlem

Property records now show that Cristina de Heeren Noble just closed on a17 rooms spread over three private floors, with views from 5,100 square feet of wraparound terraces in the newly remodeled 1200 Fifth Avenue.

The penthouse is on the 16th through 18th floors on the corner of 101st Street. That would be a steal for a prewar Fifth Avenue triplex penthouse on the Upper East Side. But the building is technically in East Harlem.
