...What I wish these buildings would do is have open houses after the lottery numbers come out. It's silly to make you go through the whole qualification process when you might take a look at the building or the model apartment and say no thanks. I guess it's hard because the building may not be completed, but they could probably save themselves a fair amount of wasted time processing applications from people who if they could just see the apartment would remove themselves from the process.
73xx with mobility disability preference. I wonder if ill be contacted as I only qualify for 14 of the units. I do think it would be nice to have the floor plans at least available. 15 Bridge Park drive did an open house, but I think they were a bit shady in that they showed two different plans and the ones that seem to be offered to non-market rate people are the terrible layouts.
I'm 25xxx. This sucks they don't have many opportunities in my income bracket.... i make a little over the $43,860 which is max income bracket for most lotteries for 1 person. Not close enough to rent a studio but still too much to be included in the majority of the housing lotteries.
Congratulations !! And thank you for this ! I just finished the entire process as well and signed a pre-lease - waiting for orientation to see the apartment. They assigned me a X unit also above the 50th floor and this description of the apartment was very helpful.

I've only seen the one apartment/line I'm in so I don't know how it compares to other studios but for me, it doesn't feel small-- it feels roomy. It doesn't feel like the shoebox studios you see in NY--everyone who's visited has said it's a very spacious studio. You have a lot of storage (cabinets are big and this line has the only walk-in closet in addition to a nice size second closet) and just overall space to move around. I am very content with my studio.
Unfortunately, I don't know about the subleasing protocols.
I was wondering why the price for the studio increases each time I was called to view the apartment. It's already a few thousand dollars more this month compare to when I was first called to view the apartment in Sept 2018. So I went and checked on the Penn South website and found out " The purchase price (equity) for each apartment is determined by the number of rooms. As of February 2019, the equity per room is $32,438.88. For example, the equity for a three-and-a-half room apartment would be $113,952.89. This amount increases monthly. "
Do any of you know the price increases monthly?
I'm not living there yet, but I know that they had a major HVAC overhaul within the last ten or so years, which made the prices go up, but I don't know about anything recently. Maybe there is a new project in the works? Just speculation on my part.
After my bank deposit clarification, I was asked for more documents specific to my case. They are being very nit picky, meticulously going through everything. I was asked to also submit bank statements that I already submitted, but they claimed that I didn't submit. At this point I'm just giving what they want when they ask. That's all I can do. Again, it's I'm God's hands.
Anyone else have anything to share?
