Under the 60 percent AMI (for incomes between $33,223 and $72,600), there are 15 one-bedrooms each priced at $929/month, 10 two-bedrooms for $1,121/month, and 3 three-bedrooms for $1,289/month.

The building’s perks include a 24-hour attended lobby, on-site resident manager, a fitness center, party rooms, a computer lounge, and a terrace.

The deadline to apply for the affordable units is March 13.
