BC is also getting Lifetime and from what I’ve seen it might sooner then.

I only qualify for a 2 bed so not sure how they’re choosing people for this.

Maybe it is in order or when you signed up to the email list. I signed up after the lottery was already live so possibly late to the party.

They told me "We randomly selected applicants from those who emailed us and confirmed they applied for the lottery" who knows...

Oh, huh! Lucky! Wonder if they'll be doing this in batches or whether I missed the boat this time.

I would go and view market rate but I know how aggressive those sales people can be - when I went to visit another building they wanted to know full names, DOB, address, phone numbers for both of us! And had us fill in forms and all sorts. It was a lot.

That's hilarious. I did that with Plank Road, didn't have to fill out any paperwork. Got approved for Brooklyn Crossing - asked to go look at my apt a second time and sure enough, it was the same broker that showed me Plank Road. Busted We had a good laugh about it though and now she's a new friend.

Would I pay 2800 if I get offered this place

I don't want to put too much effort into thinking about this building. I was really invested in 1 Boreum and really wanted it despite knowing it's a lottery. My log was insanely high. I have no doubt tons of people applied to this one too.

1 boerum isn't all that the apartments itself is different and smaller than the market rate ...they made the lottery apartments lower quality

Your appointment should be around 30 minutes, and you will be joined by as many as 2 other groups of applicants.

Note: Receiving this email does NOT mean that you have been approved / selected in the lottery. The affordable housing lottery for The Brooklyn Tower is open until May 30th. Viewings are offered as a courtesy, and there is very limited availability.”

It came from the Brooklyn lottery email so I’m assuming lottery apartments ? But I scheduled my viewing for may 6 (which is the first date they offer) so I should find out then.
Ask lots of questions for us
