Overview
Harlem Theater & Development Opportunity
Located in the heart of Central Harlem, 4 and 6 Hancock Place presents a development opportunity featuring the legendary Faison Firehouse and an adjacent lot. The 29-foot wide, 10,490 SF Beaux Arts masterpiece, completed in 1909 by architect Howard E. Constable for Hook & Ladder Company 40, offers possibilities ranging from a striking residential development to a world-class media or entertainment venue, a grand private mansion, or an exceptional live/work space. The Faison Firehouse features an ornamental limestone façade flanked by two grand bay windows, 16+ foot ceilings, abundant natural light, Venetian Palazzo-inspired interiors with a Juliette balcony, terraces on every floor, HVAC central air, a private finished roof deck with 360 city views, and a curb cut garage. The adjacent lot, currently used as a private garden, is suitable for new construction, expansion, or additional outdoor living space. The combined lots offer residential development potential of 30,332.8 SF, community facility potential of 32,588.7 SF, and commercial potential of 15,979.3 SF. The property is just one block from the 125th Street subway station with the A, B, C, and D lines, and the M3 bus line. It is surrounded by neighborhood staples and major retailers, across the street from Starbucks, and in immediate proximity to AMC Theatres, Old Navy, and CVS Pharmacy. Situated beside the Factory District and Columbia University's new Entrepreneurial Development Hub and Manhattanville Campus, this unique property is also just blocks from Morningside Park, the Apollo Theater, and Harlem's acclaimed dining corridors along Frederick Douglass and Lenox Avenues.
