East Harlem Preservation Society
The website was created to provide information to local residents and business owners on the proposed "Uptown NY," a large-scale development project by Urban Strategic Partners (developers of Harlem USA and Gotham Plaza).

According to local experts, "Uptown NY" will be the "second most major project proposed for East Harlem, after the Harlem Park-Marriott Hotel project" and will "forever change the landscape of East Harlem." Current plan calls for a 3-million square foot development to be built along East 125th-127th Streets, from Second to Third Avenue. With 700,000 square feet of retail space, 1500 housing units, parking for 1,000 cars, and an underground parking garage for 80 MTA buses, the plan will mandate zoning changes from medium density to high density.

Harlem RBI
