Louis del Sarte's " Spirit of Harlem'' wall mosaic that was commissioned in 2005 by Norfolk Bank has livened up the corner of what became Capital One (125th Street and Frederick Douglass Boulevard) for the last 10 years. Capital One has now relocated to the adjacent corner and the storefront is currently vacant. This is a great example of how to use dead space in commercial footprints to brand 125th Street as a cultural destination. "

Harlem's 125th Street Could Get 200 More Apartments
The intersection of 125th Street and Lenox Avenue, already a hub of development, could get another big project. The Real Deal reports that a 200-unit, 15-story mixed-use building could sprout at 64-75 West 125th Street. Developer DHA Capital is close to finalizing a land-lease deal with the Fata Organization that would give them control of 150 feet along 125th Street.
