Building: The Duke

The Duke at 521 West 134th is Harlem’s newest boutique rental community from Haussmann Development. Perfectly located just blocks from the 1, A, B, C, and D trains as well as Saint Nicholas Park, residents have access to vibrant, modern living in Manhattan’s most culturally diverse neighborhood.

This 8 story structure is a new, residential benchmark with its elegant facade consisting of a seamless blend of unique grey brick and oversized windows flooding its interiors with natural light. The Duke offers a collection of one and two bedroom residences with interiors designed by Lizzy Okpo. Okpo is the founder of William Okpo, a women’s wear collection designed alongside her sister, as well as the owner of local coffee shop- The Oma. Her aesthetic incorporates both local and global designs and will give The Duke a truly unique style.

Select residences boast private outdoor spaces ranging from rear yards to balconies, washer/dryer, floor to ceiling windows, central air conditioning, and beautiful wood flooring. The building features a virtual doorman and a common landscaped rooftop deck with views of the city’s skyline. Steps from some of Harlem’s premier venues including the Apollo Theater, Harlem’s restaurant row underpinned by Red Rooster, and minutes from Columbia University and City College, the location is ideal for anyone looking for the next generation of city living.
