Most likely connected corporations to developer might rent these apartments at exorbitant rents . Notice how rental prices not released. Will be fully rented very fast . After rented they might sell the building at a premium and the sucker that buys will lose big time. This building replaced a building for middle and low income renters. Now it is just 45 apartments.
Prices are on StreetEasy
