Fifth on the Park answering prayers of homeseekers in Harlem.

Phoenix Realty Group, Artimus Construction Inc., and Uptown Partners LLC announced the construction of Fifth on the Park, a new high-rise, mixed-use building that will occupy the full-block front of Fifth Avenue between 119th Street and 120th Street in New York City.

The project will be located directly across the street from the 20-acre Marcus Garvey Park, 10 blocks from Central Park and five blocks from the 125th Street corridor.

The building will include a 38,000 s/f church for the Bethel Gospel Assembly, the previous owner of the land. Above the four-story, 1,800-seat church sanctuary, the developers will build a 26-story residential tower that will include approximately 50,670 s/f of affordable rental apartments, 247,000 s/f of market rate condominiums, and a 117-space subterranean parking garage.

The residential floors will have views of Central Park, Marcus Garvey Park and the Manhattan and Harlem skylines. Equity for the development will be provided by Phoenix Realty Group (PRG) with a co-investment from Artimus Construction. PRG is a national real estate fund manager focused on urban and workforce housing development. The sixth floor will feature a setback with a full-length lap pool, landscaped garden, outdoor deck, a complete fitness center and a theater-quality media room. The condos will offer a doorman and 24-hour concierge, and will be entered through an atrium lobby featuring work from prominent artists.

Artimus Construction Inc. is developing the project and will serve as both the managing member of the property partnership and the general contractor. Uptown Partners, the originator of the project's concept, will be a member of the property partnership and will be responsible for design supervision, marketing and sales.

FXFOWLE Architects will serve as architect for Fifth on the Park.

"The property will provide numerous benefits to the community, including affordable rental apartments and an exceptional church and community center that will provide significant outreach programs to people living across New York City," added Joe Holland, president of Uptown Partners.
