Yes CB, and I really think they will. The agent talked about different layouts and floors, so there's for sure more affordable 1-bed units on the table.

We're not given options, they assign you one off the bat- and so far I've seen in this thread M and K lines

Before the file is sent to hpd you can request to ask what options are available so you have a choice.

Even if they don’t offer it to you off the bat you should definitely ask if you’re lucky to be in line for more than one option. After file is submitted it’s not possible to change but you should definitely be able to while finalizing the signatures and doc submission.

Is your plan similar to this one ?

If yes then it’s most likely that since you’re 130 Ami you were assigned this plan

I haven’t seen the apartment yet but I hope it is a similar floorplan. I will report back once I go see it.

Has anyone yet shared how long it typically takes for the lease to be sent for signing after viewing?

from what the doc shows I think you could even sign the same day or the next depending on how soon you wanted to.

The leasing team is definitely incentivized to make the lease start date asap, not sure if all units are ready for occupancy. I def think a lot of units are not completely ready for occupancy in the south tower and thats definitely has less vacancy than the north tower.

When I toured the building the north tower was definitely super underconstructed and needs a lot more time. The teams been leasing out market and lottery units in the south tower and theres still work being done in the south tower to finish up units so that could be the reason for a slow down in lottery processing and lease up

There is definitely no transparency in the process, and like many other marketing agencies I have not enjoyed interacting with them especially with their vague answering and not replying concretely to anything. I wish iaffordny was handling this lottery, I've never worked with them but boy oh boy are they efficient, one of their employees Brittany is so hands on and helpful that I wish every building was being processed by their team
