Frederick Douglass Boulevard

Community Board 10 voted in favor of a proposal to develop a series of lots on Frederick Douglass Boulevard into a high-rise condominium Wednesday night, ending a series of disagreements and negotiations between board members and the Department of Housing Preservation and Development that have dragged on for months. The proposed development, slated for the 2282-2284 Frederick Douglass Boulevard lots in West Harlem, will have 12 stories and 89 condos, 18 of them classified as “affordable housing units.”

After the postponement of a City Council subcommittee vote Wednesday on the proposed development of a 12-story residential building on Frederick Douglass Boulevard, Harlem residents and neighborhood groups vowed to continue fighting the plan, arguing that it has no real benefits for the local community.
