Kramer Levin Client Broadway Housing Communities Breaks Ground on Sugar Hill Development

On July 19, 2012, New York City Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg joined officials from Broadway Housing Communities (BHC), community representatives, benefactors, elected officials and city and state commissioners to break ground on the new Sugar Hill development, located near the famed Coogan’s Bluff at West 155th Street and St. Nicholas Avenue on the border of West Harlem and Washington Heights. The complex, scheduled for completion in late 2013, will feature 124 units of affordable housing, an early education center for 100 pre-school children and their families, and the Sugar Hill Children’s Museum of Art & Storytelling, which was recently named the nation’s highest-ranking recipient of 2012 ArtPlace grants, awarded to transform communities through strategic investment in the arts.

Kramer Levin handled all land use matters, including the necessary uniform land use review process for rezoning of the site. The team included Land Use special counsel Valerie G. Campbell and associates Adam B. Taubman and Elizabeth Larsen.
