The Maxwell, a new apartment building in Downtown Brooklyn, is set to enhance local housing availability with 279 units, including 69 affordable options. Positioned on the former St. Boniface Church site, the development has garnered over 17,000 applications, highlighting the high demand. Developer Thomas Friedland emphasized the importance of varied unit types and described how energy-efficient designs help keep costs down. Residents are attracted not only by affordability but also by amenities such as in-unit laundry, gyms, and communal spaces. Move-in day is scheduled for July 1, drawing interest from potential tenants.
There is a diverse mix of affordable units for many different types of residents, as the building includes 69 affordable units out of 279 total.
I think we need something like this. I hope in some way everyone gets to be a part of the building, especially wheelchair users.
The affordability was one thing that got my attention - I was shocked at the price, as it draws many prospective renters.
The smaller footprint and efficient electrical systems of the units allowed for reduced costs, making even market-rate units more affordable.
