Harlem's Box Actively Recruiting

125th and Park, but there are no black people in the rendering.....

#1:

Well, renderings are supposed to show the best possible outcome, so this one works.

3.

Love the racism. Please never ever suggest there is no more racism, it's alive and well in all sorts of ways in culture, business, you name it. 125th and Park and they have 3 white people, reminds me of the 111CPN renderings.

#3 yes, i know what you mean

This is great for our community. It doesn't displace people and provides more jobs and opportunities for our community. This office building will need more restaurants and other services which means more people in the community being employed.

I am glad they are finally over their fear of Harlem. Bout time!

As for the renderings - please...they are drawing on a computer screen by some junior architect who is focusing on the building's appearence. They probably have no idea about who actually lives in the area the building is going up.

I SEE NO BLACK PEOPLE

Maybe with gentrification of Harlem there will be more businesses, stores, restaurants and thus jobs and the "black people" that you don't see are actually inside working?

Most of these renderings are outsourced to china now.

This neighborhood is definitely a slum, but unfortunately, this building will not help improve it. All of the negroes need to move to Brooklyn or The Bronx as there is no place for them in Manhattan.

GoHarlem I just moved here are you in East Harlem? I moved from Williamsburg

12.

Traded homo hipsters for mo hos and homies, huh?

13.

12. you're the man!

14.

ANON I never wanted "homo hipsters" and I have yet to see any hos and homies in my area in E. Harlem.

Remember, Harlem used to be 99% (white) Italian, Irish and Jewish around 1900. So no black people in the rendering is not that surprising to anyone who knows their history. Harlem has just had a few decades of black majority population and it is now changing back. Get over it or get out!

The building is located in East Harlem. Not black - hispanic.

17.

The building is located on 125th street in black Harlem. El Barrio would like the world to believe that they are part of the Harlem phenomenon. But they have been and always will be 116th street and below.

Finally, this whole Vornado gig is not going to happen. Their investor ( McFarlane Partners) doesn't even have this project on their Web site.
