New Affordable Condominiums for Sale at 70 West 139 Condominium
Harlen Park Development LLC, is pleased to announce that applications are now being accepted for 42 affordable new condominiums now under construction at 70 West 139th Street in the West Harlem section of Manhattan. Sponsor has applied for a real property tax exemption under Section 421-a of the Real Property Tax Law (the “421-a Program”). The 421-a Program is administered by the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development (“HPD”) and provides new multiple dwellings with an exemption from real property taxes based upon the increase in value due to the new multiple dwelling that is being constructed on the property. These benefits equal up to three years of construction period benefits (100% exemption) and between ten and twenty-five years of post-construction period benefits (which start at 100% and phase-out over the post-construction benefit period). HPD issued a Preliminary Certificate of Eligibility for 70 West 139th Street for construction period benefits on November 9, 2016. To continue to be eligible for 421-a tax exemption benefits, which for 70 West 139th Street would include twenty-five years of post-construction real property tax exemption benefits, the developer must comply with any additional requirements of the 421-a Program and receive a Final Certificate of Eligibility from HPD that the developer must thereafter file with the Department of Finance. Otherwise, 70 West 139th Street may lose all of its 421-a tax benefits all the way back to the benefits granted by the Preliminary Certificate of Eligibility.
The amenities will include an expansive lobby with virtual doorman, onsite parking for 32 cars and 34 bicycles (with 220V electric outlets for car charging), 54 private storage rooms and an indoor & outdoor fitness and recreation center.
The estimated sales prices, unit sizes, and income requirements are as follows:
* Subject to occupancy criteria
** Income guidelines subject to change
Eligible buyers should have 10% of the purchase price available for down payment. Buyers must occupy the condominium as their primary residence. Please note that the quoted sales prices, maximum household income, amenities etc., are estimated and are subject to change.
