Designed and developed by Fulcrum Properties, the 96,638-square-foot structure will yield 130 affordable housing units and connect to the adjacent 196-year-old St. Augustine\u2019s Church, which will undergo a full restoration. The new tower will also contain a 1,959-square-foot community facility and 3,762 square feet of ground-floor retail space. The property is located on an interior through-lot parcel bounded by Henry, Madison, and Scammel Streets.<\/p>\n<p>The main rendering above looks south at 290 Henry Street showing a rectangular massing with a uniform grid of windows on the northern elevation facing the church. The entrance will be located within an extension with a double-height glass at the eastern edge of the building.<\/p>\n<p>The project site is currently occupied by a two-story annex and parking lot, as seen in the following Google Street View image. This 64-year-old structure formerly housed classrooms but is currently vacant. A demolition timeline has yet to be announced.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/newyorkyimby.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Screen-Shot-2025-07-13-at-4.28.03-PM.png\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-1976970\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Screen-Shot-2025-07-13-at-4.28.03-PM-1024x566.png\" alt=\"290 Henry Street.

The congregation merged with St. Augustine\u2019s Chapel of Trinity Church in 1949, and gained landmark status in 1966. The church\u2019s 340-person auditorium and a 359-person sanctuary are expected to remain in operation during the construction and restoration process.<\/p>\n<p>Revenue generated by the new property is expected to be used to help maintain the church and its congregation through a 99-year ground-lease agreement.<\/p>\n<p>The project is estimated to cost around $85 million. The property is currently zoned for residential housing, but a permit from the city will be required due to St. Augustine\u2019s Chapel\u2019s landmark status.<\/p>\n<p>An anticipated completion date for 290 Henry Street and the church\u2019s restoration has not been announced.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"http:\/\/eepurl.com\/c7JhDj\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Subscribe<\/a> to YIMBY\u2019s daily e-mail<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/yimbygram\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Follow<\/a> YIMBYgram for real-time photo updates<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/YIMBYFB\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Like<\/a>\u00a0YIMBY on Facebook<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/yimbytweets\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Follow<\/a> YIMBY\u2019s Twitter for the latest in YIMBYnews<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/newyorkyimby.com\/category\/uncategorized\" rel=\"category tag nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Uncategorized<\/a><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A new rendering has been revealed for 290 Henry Street, a 21-story residential building on Manhattan\u2019s Lower East&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":11820,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[56],"tags":[228,226,227,229,88],"class_list":["post-11819","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-arts-and-design","tag-arts","tag-arts-and-design","tag-artsanddesign","tag-design","tag-entertainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11819","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11819"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11819\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11820"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11819"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11819"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11819"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
