While millions of people are purchasing tickets every day to win the
Mega Millions lottery, thousands of New Yorkers are sending in
applications to win the opportunity to own or rent a brand new
apartment in central Harlem. Because of the efforts of a public-private partnership, 22 individuals
or families will be able to own a home in one of two 22-unit
condominiums under construction at 261 West 112th Street and 2100
Frederick Douglass Boulevard. The condo units are offered for sale through the Cornerstone Program of
New York City’s Department of Housing Preservation and Development, and
range in price from $239,500 for a studio to $328,500 for a
two-bedroom. [more]
