If all goes according to plan, there will be a 68-story tall, 1,100-unit residential building at 921 E. 96th Street in East Harlem, New York City, by 2023, DNAinfo reports. It is part of a larger plan that includes expanding and improving public schools in the area.

A slew of community meetings will be held to help bring the project from concept to reality.
