Harlem Bespoke: Where the heck are these Harlem towers located? Real estate blogs like
YIMBY have been reporting about this architectural rendering and saying that it is at Park Avenue and 125th Street because of the the elevated trains station but nothing matches up. Anyone who lives in the neighborhood (or just would even lift a finger to use Google Maps) would know that none of the tenement buildings in the architectural image exists at this intersection. Then there is the absence of the landmark Corn Exchange building which is one of the most recognizable structures by the Metro North train station and has a distinct mansard roof. Another notable, tall prewar office building is on the other side of Park and is not in sight.
Another glaringly absent feature is the fact that the
actual train station under the platform is missing. All those surrounding residential buildings also do not fit in with this particular corner view to any degree and the angle apparently is looking west which incorrectly has a wall of tenements that blocks off the view. This does not correlate with anything since it would be a wall of housing projects at the far end if this perspective was not fake. If the view was looking east, then the bridge across the Harlem River would be in plain site so that can not be an option. At best, this is some fantasy intern rendering testing out digital concept skills with no accountability to anything concrete.
