History

The project was approved by the City Planning Commission in 1951. [3] Construction began on June 29, 1951 and the cornerstone was laid on October 21, 1952. [4] [5] Tenants began moving into the complex in March 1953; [6] this housing complex was completed in June 1953. [1]

In 2017, NYCHA Unveils NextGen for the newest addition at the Parking Lot in this Complex with residents engaging to inform a release for Request for Proposals and NYCHA had committed to continuing to providing newer affordable housing and part of the 10-year strategic plan to repair and rebuild public housing to improve the conditions of each building.
