The affordable housing lottery has launched for 9-24 Main Avenue, a six-story mixed-use building in Astoria, Queens. Designed by Gerald Caliendo Architect and developed by Ravi Patel, the structure yields 14 residences. Available on NYC Housing Connect are ten units for residents at 130 percent of the area median income (AMI), ranging in eligible income from $77,143 to $187,330. All new leases also get one month free rent.
Ravi Patel, doing business as a Long Island-based LLC, has filed applications for a six-story, 14-unit residential building at 9-24 Main Avenue, in western Astoria, located two blocks in from the East River. The project will measure 11,990 square feet in total, which means units will average 856 square feet apiece. The residences will begin on the second floor and an indoor recreational facility will be located on the ground level. Queens-based Gerald Caliendo is the architect of record, and an existing two-story brick house must first be demolished.
