During the booming 1970s and 1980s when Downtown skyscraper growth crossed to the east side of Broadway, many of the historic mansions in Uptown were demolished in anticipation of more high-rise development or to provide parking for the new office towers.  But the boom came to an end, leaving much of Uptown to sit as a parking lot wasteland punctuated by run-down buildings and few residents to care for the area.

By the late 1990s, growth once again came to Uptown -- this time in the form of multi-family housing.  Leading the way in Uptown's residential boom was Post Properties' Uptown Square project on the site of the vacant St. Luke's Hospital, followed by numerous other smaller projects that began the transformation of Uptown back into a residential neighborhood.  The  redevelopment of the East Village public housing project across from Uptown Square and other new developments along the 20th Avenue corridor will further enhance the residential character and urban vitality of the Uptown district.
