A mixed-income housing lottery has opened for 270 units in a new development on the Long Island City waterfront.
The city is accepting applications for units in the mixed-use, two-tower development known as Gotham Point. The 270 apartments up for grabs are located in one of the two waterfront towers that have commanding views of Manhattan.
The development is currently under construction and is being built through a partnership between development company Gotham and the nonprofit RiseBoro Community Partnership.
The housing lottery is now open for apartments in the South Tower, a 33-story building located at 57-28 2nd St.
The South Tower is anticipated to be completed later this year, while the 56-story, second tower known as the North Tower is expected to be finished next year. Together, the buildings will include 1,132 total units — 75 percent, or 847 total, of which are available through the city’s housing lottery.
The apartments that are part of the lottery — a range of studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom and three-bedroom units — are available to households of one to seven people who earn 30, 50, 80, 125 or 165 percent of the area median income.
All residents will have access to a state-of-the-art fitness studio, 24/7-attended lobby, dedicated co-working lounges, a rooftop terrace, bike storage, children’s playroom, dog spa and more. Additional fees apply for some amenities.
The units feature open layouts, plank flooring, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, a gas range and a dishwasher.
