The Carolina (previously know as Lexington Gardens II) is a 100% affordable, mixed-use project in the East Harlem neighborhood of Manhattan. The project site is bounded by Park and Lexington Avenues and East 107^th and East 108^th Streets.

The project was developed by a joint venture between L+M Development Partners and Tahl Propp Equities. It is comprised of  400 rental units affordable to very low, low, moderate, and middle-income households. It also includes a state-of-the-art 28,000 square-foot community facility, which will be the new headquarters of the Northside Center, a nonprofit with a longstanding history of service to the Harlem community providing expert behavioral, mental health, education and enrichment programs to children and families living in poverty.

The project also includes a 3,000 square-foot community facility for Union Settlement, where they expanded their mental health counseling programs for adults, approximately 6,000 square feet of community facility space along 108^th Street, and approximately 4,000 square feet of space for local retail, which will front on Lexington Avenue.
