As part of the NYCHA STEAM Innovators project, students from Stanley Avenue Preservation opened a community center in the Penn Wortman Houses that they designed over the summer led by the Salvadori Center.
Developed by LMXD and Ray and designed by Handel Architects and Frida Escobedo, the property will include 222 residences and will be the permanent home of the National Black Theatre. Available on NYC Housing Connect are 58 units for residents at 40 to 130 percent of the area median income.
