Affordable Housing Lottery Launches for The Estela at 414-445 Gerard Avenue in Mott Haven, The Bronx

The Domain Companies has launched an affordable housing lottery for apartments at The Estela, a two-building rental complex in the Mott Haven section of the South Bronx. Located at 414 and 445 Gerard Avenue, the property contains a mix of 380 market-rate units, 164 affordable apartments, 35,000 square feet of tenant amenities, and about 9,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space, which will include a grocery store.

The lottery is now open to low-income families earning between $54,035 up to $115,280, or about 80 percent of the area median income. Available units across both affordable and market-rate components include studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom floorplans.

“We’re thrilled to be moving one step closer to providing residents with an unparalleled full-service living experience right in the heart of the South Bronx,” said Matt Schwartz of The Domain Companies. “Domain is committed to delivering high-quality projects that strengthen communities, and we look forward to furthering our mission with Estela.

Outdoor amenities will include a combines 4,000 square feet of courtyard space and a dog run. Inside the building, tenants will have access to a 24/7 concierge, screening room, a lounge, game rooms, coworking space, multiple gyms, yoga studios, and a pet spa.
