## Manhattan

Most of UDC's activities in the Borough of Manhattan are concentrated in Harlem—the area of greatest need.

UDC began construction in July 1971 on Frawley Plaza, two 35-story octagonal residential towers and a mid-rise building containing the larger apartments, with a total of 600 dwelling units, on Fifth Avenue between 110th and 111th Streets. This site, on the northeast corner of Central Park, is a major gateway to the Harlem community. Aside from apartments, the 11-story mid-rise, fronting on Madison Avenue, will contain 15,000 square feet of commercial space, a day-care center, a replacement for the Northside Center for Child Development, several small stores, and space for community facilities.

Construction also began in Harlem on September 27, 1971 on the 355-unit Lionel Hampton Houses. Three attractive residential structures—one 29 stories high—are being built on two sites near the intersection of West 130th Street and Eighth Avenue, for low and moderate-income families. A two-story building, containing stores and professional offices, also will be included. Besides the housing, the development will include a day-care center for approximately 57 children; an internally lighted pool and fountain on a landscaped plaza with sitting and play areas; recreation rooms; and parking facilities. A second stage of construction, involving an additional 260 units of housing on a nearby site, is scheduled to begin in 1972.

UDC was invited to develop the sites within the St. Nicholas Park urban renewal area by the community sponsor selected by the St. Nicholas Park Community Council. The sponsor is the Lionel Hampton Development Group.
