The John Haynes Holmes Towers is the only public housing projects for those of low to moderate incomes on the Upper East Side located just south of the neighborhood's northern limit at 96th Street. The Isaacs Houses and the Holmes Towers borders East Harlem, which has the highest concentration of public housing in the United States.The two public housing buildings, completed in 1969, are 25 stories tall and contain 537 apartments. Architects Eggers and Higgins designed the buildings. The project is located between 92nd and 93rd Streets public housing buildings in the Yorkville neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City. The project is located between 92nd and 93rd Streets, spanning from 1st Avenue to York Avenue / the FDR Drive. The development was named for the founder of the Community Church of New York. John_Haynes_Holmes was known as a pacifist, social organizer, and social justice pioneer. A 1973 New York Times () article detailing a murder in the projects noted that the Towers were at the time "tenanted largely by white, elderly residents." 60 percent of the apartments in Isaacs are set aside for tenants over the age of 62. Since June 2006, a greenmarket has operated on 92nd Street and 1st Avenue in front of Holmes Towers. It was the first Greenmarket on a NYCHA property. The Isaacs Houses projects are located just north of the Holmes Towers. Both developments are basically one complex totaling 5 buildings having the same Development Management Office managed by New York City Housing Authority. () Both housing projects, as a whole, have been designated a "high crime zone" by the New_York_City_Police_Department's 19th precinct since the early 2000s, and are thus policed to a higher extent, especially due to the heavy socio-economic mixing of the immediate surrounding area, which includes public housing, working-class small tenement buildings, middle-class medium-size buildings, and upper-middle class to upper-class luxury buildings along 1st avenue in the area.]. == Further reading == The_New_York_Times Reports: () In June of 2002, a 62-year-old woman was stabbed to death in her Isaacs Houses apartment.
