A rare opportunity to experience a Historic New York City Landmark thoughtfully reimagined as a collection of distinct modern residences.

Originally designed in the early 20th century by notable neighborhood architect William Hornum, who partnered with developer Willian O’Gorman to design the row of residences on the north side of East 140th Street in the late 1800’s. 427 East 140th Street has long stood as the defining architectural presence, reflecting the craftsmanship and material richness of its era.

The property is being transformed into a boutique collection of ten uniquely configured homes that honor the original structure while introducing a complementary new construction addition. Approximately half of the building preserves the historic framework, while the remainder consists of a sensitively integrated modern expansion.

The residences are being designed to feature expansive living and bedroom spaces, large closets and storage within the units, with many offering private outdoor areas. Each home is planned to include wide plank wood flooring, in-unit washer and dryer, and independently controlled heating and cooling systems for year-round comfort.

The homes will incorporate all-new mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems, new windows, and thoughtfully designed kitchens with contemporary appliances. Bathrooms are envisioned with large-format porcelain tile, modern fixtures and vanities.

Throughout the building, carefully curated lighting, exposed brick, and preserved architectural elements from the original structure are intended to create a dialogue between past and present — combining historic authenticity with modern design.

Neighborhood description:

Located on the southwestern edge of the South Bronx, just across the Harlem River from Manhattan, this vibrant neighborhood has quickly become one of New York City’s most exciting residential destinations. With convenient access to the 2, 4, 5, and 6 subway lines and major bridges, residents enjoy an easy commute to Midtown Manhattan while benefiting from comparatively spacious homes and strong value.

Mott Haven is known for its rich architectural character, particularly along the historic Mott Haven Historic District (East 140th Street), where beautifully preserved brownstones and turn-of-the-century townhouses line tree-shaded streets. Many former industrial buildings have been thoughtfully converted into modern loft residences, blending exposed brick, high ceilings, and oversized windows with contemporary finishes.

The neighborhood’s energy is fueled by a growing mix of local restaurants, cafés, art galleries, and waterfront spaces. Residents enjoy access to green space along the Harlem River waterfront, as well as nearby St. Mary’s Park and Randall’s Island which are perfect for recreation and relaxation. A strong sense of community, combined with ongoing investment and new development, continues to shape Mott Haven into a dynamic hub for both longtime residents and newcomers alike.

Offering a compelling mix of historic charm, modern living, and unbeatable proximity to Manhattan, Mott Haven represents one of the Bronx’s most promising and livable neighborhoods today.
