“This project has been my dream for more than 25 years, starting when I was co-chair of the Housing Committee for Community board 10,” said Edward Poteat, president of Carthage Real Estate Advisors. “I especially want to thank the visionary team at NYCHDC for their support on every level! It was thrilling to see so many well-wishers at the event who helped make this a reality, including several of our most esteemed elected officials.”
When completed in November 2024, the 20-story residential tower will feature 168 studio-, one bedroom, two bedroom- and three-bedroom apartments. In addition to light-filled apartments, there will be a residents’ roof deck with separate performance space for community artists.
Developed by Carthage Real Estate Advisors and designed by Body Lawson Associates Architects & Planners – both MBE firms – and Fischer + Makooi Architects, when completed in 2025, Marcus Garvey Village will consist of three rental towers, of which two will be 100% affordable.
