HVRG Mission:
To develop the “Haarlem Victoria Cultural Complex”-
1. Preserve, promote, build on and capitalize on the unique richness of Harlem’s history and longstanding reputation as the cultural capital of the African/Latino world and one of NYC’s top tourist destinations;
2. Provide educational, cultural programming and exhibitions, vocational training, apprenticeship and internship opportunities that will help enrich the residents of Harlem, New York City, the millions of visitors from Europe, Asia, Africa and the continental United States;
3. Expand and create new cultural value;
4. Deliver high quality diverse service, products and superior customer service;

Vision/Concept
The Haarlem Cultural Complex will be the cultural crown jewel of 125th Street and will enhance and firmly solidify 125th Street as the premier commercial and cultural center of Harlem and the international community that it serves. As a “one stop” tourist destination, it will provide a comprehensive package of services– arts and entertainment; luxury accommodations; gourmet dining; tourist and historic information; and other ancillary products and services. This product and service offering will be targeted to the more than 1.4 million visitors who travel to Harlem from around the world, as well as for the benefit of Harlem’s residents and other regional and local visitors.

Project Description
The Haarlem Cultural Complex is a mixed use, luxury, state-of-the-art entertainment and upscale hotel facility. The architectural design will preserve the integrity of the existing exterior and interior elements for the intent of achieving landmark status. The restoration and build-out of the 125th structure will include a full service gourmet restaurant, café/ bar and rooftop cabaret/supper club. To complement the primary attractions, the structure will also include a resource/ galleria room with music and historic archives that can be utilized for conferences and screenings. The restored and newly renovated 2,300+ seat high-performance theatre will be suitable for all art genres – dance, music, theatre, and film. We will add multimedia production and broadcast facilities to the centers repertoire. The boutique hotel build-out will add 6+ stories adding 80,000+ square feet to contain approximately 91 rooms, four penthouse suites and a day spa.
