Harlem’s Eleven Hancock Place Unveiled as Construction Tops Out

New York City based Nortco Development announced that construction has topped out at Eleven Hancock in Harlem.  In addition, Nortco has launched a teaser site  and revealed new renderings providing potential buyers a first look at the ground up luxury condominium located at 11 Hancock Place near Morningside Park just south of 125th Street. 

Designed by Issac & Stern Architects with interiors by Lemay + Escobar, Eleven Hancock boasts a dramatic cantilevered design highlighted by a façade of alternating horizontal zinc- and rust-colored bands.  Oversized industrial-inspired windows will showcase the building’s exposed diagonal beams encased in finished concrete—a unique design feature for select residences.   

Scheduled for completion in Spring 2020, the 12-story, 130,000-square-foot building will comprise 71 studio, one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom residences; nearly 50 percent of homes at Eleven Hancock Place will feature outdoor space. The residential portion of the building—which starts on the third floor—rests above a 30,000-square foot retail space spread across three floors that boasts 14-foot ceiling heights on the ground floor—perfect for fashion-forward big-box retailers.

Eleven Hancock will feature a number of thoughtfully designed amenities and features including a fitness center complete with Peloton bikes, treadmills and free-weights; a resident’s lounge; children’s playroom; pet spa; package room and storage spaces.  Residents will be able to enjoy two expansive outdoor spaces—both offering sweeping views of Harlem and Manhattan—featuring outdoor kitchens with BBQ stations, seating and dining areas and private cabanas.

Later this month, Eleven Hancock Place will open a sales and marketing center nearby at 2300 Frederick Douglass Boulevard, where interested buyers will be able to preview floorplans, a 3D neighborhood map, sample finishes and a built-out model kitchen and bathroom.

“Nortco has conceived a full-service building that evokes a downtown experience in prime South Harlem.  Eleven Hancock’s sleek design, generous floorplans and incredible amenity package is an exciting offering with attractive pricing,” said Jeff Krantz, managing director of Halstead Property Development Marketing’s Krantz + Krantz Group.  “There is a lot of pent up demand for newly built product in the area.  Eleven Hancock is a stand-out option for buyers seeking a gleaming new building located just one stop to midtown on the express train.  It is close to many of Harlem’s best restaurants, shopping and entertainment—the location is incredible.” 

Eleven Hancock Place is located between Morningside Avenue and 124th Street in the center of Harlem’s bustling music, art and culinary scene, and sits just two blocks from the legendary Apollo Theater.  Residents of Eleven Hancock will also enjoy close proximity to Morningside Park, St. Nicholas Park and Central Park, providing outdoor enthusiasts access to some of the city’s best green spaces and outdoor activities.
