Housing lottery applications are open for 227 rent-stabilized apartments at a new development in Mott Haven in the Bronx. Households that earn $73,783 to $238,160 are eligible to apply, depending on the number of people you live with. Rents start at $1,936 for a one bedroom.
The 40-story building at 355 Exterior St. has a pool, gym, roof terrace, pet spa, indoor pickleball court, and golf simulator. One River Park, named for its location next to the Harlem River, allows one pet with a weight limit of 30 pounds.
Developed by Beitel Group, the development has access to the 2, 4, and 5 trains at the nearby 149th Street-Grand Concourse subway station.
The apartments are set aside for New Yorkers earning from 70 to 130 percent of the area median income (AMI)—a metric that depends on how many people you live with. Currently the AMI for New York City is $129,600 for a two-person household. The available units include studios as well as one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments.
There are 91 one-bedroom units available for households earning from $91,475 to $198,510. The rent for these apartments is $2,600.
Applications must be submitted online or postmarked no later than Sept. 24th.
