An excellent project that turned out great. Bravo.
stop calling this affordable housing!
THIS IS INCOME LINKED HOUSING AND ONLY AFFORDABLE TO UPPER INCOME PEOPLE, NOT THE LOW INCOME PEOPLE THAT NEED THIS HOUSING.
THIS IS A JOKE AND A TAXPAYER SUBSIDY TO MILLIONAIRE DEVELOPERS

NYC is prohibiting new gas hookups in buildings under 6 floors, perhaps in 2024. These appear to have electric heating and AC. This may prove more than affordable. The rents are about three times what my co-op charges with electricity included.
The exterior is a nice Art Moderne revival and fits in with the pre-war historic district. I hope other offerings are in Spanish.
Seems like it could have easily been six stories, to match surrounding roof heights, plus a ‘penthouse’? It’s cool, but why not a little taller?
Agreed, but I also think it looks quite nice as is – especially with the art moderne styling.
Nice. I would like a 1 bedroom
Ahem
These are condos. The NYC housing dept is making condos with our tax dollars.
Once again the city is making only housing for rich people and thousands of rent burdened citizens and families are left in the lurch and on the streets or crappy shelter hotels. This is disgusting.
