They are set aside for households making $14,949-$132,840 a year, with studios starting at $368 a month for single people at the lowest income level, those making $14,949-$20,040 a year.

The building is described as having a live-in super, a community room, bike storage, laundry, and for an additional fee, parking. It's three blocks from the Tremont Avenue B and D station.
