This apartment complex (you're looking at the eastern half of it) was the first of five waves of buildings that have been erected above the old Mott Haven rail yard over the past five decades.

I'm walking every street in New York City.
This is the counterpoint to my walk across the US. Instead of seeing a million places for just a minute each, I'm going to spend a million minutes exploring just one place. By the time I finish walking every block of every street in all five boroughs, I'll have traveled more than 8,000 miles on foot — all within a single city. Details!

Your donations allow me to keep walking full-time. If you think what I'm doing is valuable and you'd like to offer some support, I would be very grateful. On the other hand, if you think I'm a worthless bum, feel free to email me and tell me to get a job, bozo. Both are excellent options!
And speaking of new waves of development on the site of the old yards, there is (or was, I don’t know if it is actually on its way to be built) a project to build two thirty-story residential buildings, plus an YMCA in the plot currently occupied by the parking lot you are showing in this picture.
