Designer of Massive Harlem Project Sued Over ‘Sinking’ San Francisco Tower
(DNAINFO) Dartunorro Clark | February 26, 2017 — The architects behind the development are named in the California lawsuit.
The architects chosen to design a massive city-backed East Harlem apartment complex are also behind a controversial high-rise in San Francisco that residents say is sinking.
The city announced a deal this month for Sendero Verde, a 751,000-square-foot energy efficient building that would take up almost an entire block bordered by Madison and Park avenues and East 111th and 112th streets.
The project, developed by L+M Development Partners and a team led by Jonathan Rose Companies, is being designed by Handel Architects, whose portfolio is made up of high-end luxury buildings, according to its website.
Handel also designed Millennium Tower, a gleaming 58-story high-rise that has been dubbed “The Leaning Tower of San Francisco,” according to NPR.
