52-45 East 126th Street

For those of you curious about the activity on the south side of East 126th Street between Park/Madison, I thought I’d submit the initial visualizations that Odyssey House presented:

The current site is being demolished and a new building will replace it.

A spokesperson for Odyssey House who I spoke to in November note that:

The plans for the development have not changed since we presented them to the community in 2016. The project will provide a mix of 15 permanent supportive housing units for special needs, single adults and six apartments for single low-income tenants. All tenants will have access to front desk coverage and on-site building maintenance. The supportive housing tenants will receive case management services, vocational training, recreational activities, and access to medical and psychiatric services through community-based providers.

Odyssey house expects construction on the project to be completed by the end of 2021.
