A rare chance to own an affordable apartment in a luxury building - but there's a catch
Briefly

For the sale price of $308,313, interested applicants can acquire a one-bedroom apartment located in a luxury building on the Upper West Side, greatly less than market rates.
The building offers amenities rarely found in affordable housing—like a 75-foot saltwater lap pool, a fitness center, and shared outdoor spaces, making it a unique opportunity.
This lottery unit is available due to outdated regulations allowing developers to build one affordable unit for every 3.5 market-rate units, a rule now updated to a stricter 1:1 ratio.
HPD stated that because of the previous Inclusionary Housing Program regulations, only one affordable apartment was required in this luxury complex, limiting accessibility for many potential residents.
