Hi all,

I saw somewhere in this thread that the affordable units in this development do not feature a washer and dryer like the market rate units do. That got me thinking: How else do developers typically distinguish affordable units from market rate? Do affordable units tend to be grouped to the lower floors, for example? Is a market rate one bedroom larger than an affordable one bedroom? Let me know what else you’ve seen/picked up on—I’m curious…

There are so many ways they differentiate unfortunately.
1) Cheaper kitchen appliances and finishes
2) Exposed appliances in buildings where they’re part of the cabinets
3) Cheaper bathroom finishes (ex, smaller mirrors, cheaper tub sometimes plastic looking
4) No washer and Dryer in units
5) In buildings with water or city views, lottery apartments usually face the opposite direction or another building to the side.
7) Only available in lower floors sometimes
8) The apartments can be smaller or have weird layouts

And am sure there are other ways. Not all buildings do this but I have noticed these practices in many of them.

I’ve seen quite a handful of lotteries with market rate and lottery units being exactly the same and with the lottery apartments scattered throughout the building, but I’ve also seen and have read about differences. I’ve seen minor differences like no W/D in units to no views.

The worst I’ve read about was about a building within a building containing a poor door where lottery tenants were not allowed to share amenities and we’re isolated by a keyed elevator to certain floors only.

I just handed in all requested documents after much back and forth and I guess it’s all under review now.

Does anyone have a sense for a timeline after submitting all docs? I mostly ask because I’m going to be out of the country in a few weeks for just over a week, and I worry that the development will ask me to come in person or something. If I’m not able to, will they disqualify me and skip over to the next person? Or would they hold my place in line until I get back?

Not sure if I should update the person I’ve been communicating with. I don’t know if that will help me or backfire. Thoughts?

It looks like someone moved in recently and updated it on the spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...KXA/edit#gid=0
