The American Legion’s Harvey W. Seeds Post 29 Building located at 6445 NE 7th Avenue on the Upper East Side has been demolished after starting demolition work the past two weeks. 

To the West of the American Legion property between Biscayne Boulevard and NE 7th Ave and bordering Legion Park and NE 64th St are 17 abandoned residences on a 6.45 acre site. These low rise buildings built between 1940 and 1972, were purchased by ACRE GCDM Bay Investment II (Global City Development) for $10.9 million. Residents have left their properties by February 29th of this year and the buildings have been boarded up and abandoned since.
