Manhattanville Houses is a public housing project in the Manhattanville section of West Harlem, in the borough of Manhattan, New York City. The project is located between Broadway and Amsterdam Avenue, spanning a superblock from 129th Street to 133rd Street. The project consists of six 20-story buildings containing 1,272 apartment units. The project was designed in 1961 by modernist architect William Lescaze, reflecting the "tower in the park" concept in vogue during the mid-20th century. Lescaze designed the towers to emphasize view corridors that bring air and light to housing residents. Manhattanville Houses were completed June 30, 1961 at a cost of $24 million. The buildings are managed by the New York City Housing Authority. The site formerly consisted of city blocks of tenements which were demolished via slum clearance, beginning in 1957. == Further reading == * (NYCHA description ) * ("Plans are Filed For Housing Unit," ) Grutzner, Charles.
