Fort Tryon Jewish Center
The Fort Tryon Jewish Center is a synagogue located at 524 Fort Washington Avenue between West 183rd and 184th Streets, across from Bennett Park in the Hudson Heights neighborhood of Upper Manhattan, New York City.〔
The congregation was founded in 1938 by long-time residents of the city and refugees from Nazi Germany. It first occupied leased space, building a modest facility in 1950, and then a spacious sanctuary that opened in 1960,〔 designed by N. J. Sapienza in the Modernist style.〔, p.59〕 The Torah Ark in the building has been described as "a gem of midcentury design."〔
In the first decade of the 21st century, the congregation grew as young families moved into the neighborhood.〔
==Failed real estate deal==
In an April 2014 article, the ''New York Times'' described a failed real estate transaction involving the Fort Tryon Jewish Center.〔 The congregation signed an agreement with Rutherford Thompson of Thompson Development, which planned to build a 23-story condominium building to be called "One Bennett Park".〔 Under the agreement, the developer would pay to completely renovate the synagogue in exchange for air rights and the right to situate a Fort Washington Avenue entrance to the residential tower on the congregation's property.〔 According to ''The Real Deal'' magazine, a lawsuit filed in 2010 alleged that Thompson defaulted on the loan in February 2008.〔 The synagogue was left in an unusable state, resulting in ongoing litigation, during which time the congregation met at Mother Cabrini High School,〔 and its successor since September 2014, Success Academy Washington Heights.
