Applications are currently being accepted for 19 middle-income units at a new rental building in Brooklyn. Located a few blocks from the Barclays Center and the many restaurants and bars that sit on the border of Prospect Heights and Clinton Hill, 555 Waverly Avenue is an eight-story building with 190 total units. New Yorkers earning 130 percent of the area median income can apply for the apartments, which include $2,228/month studios, $2,346/month one-bedrooms, and $2,830/month two-bedrooms.

In 2014, Madison Realty Capital bought the site, formerly Beigel’s Bakery, for $23.5 million and construction began the following year. A housing lottery launched two years ago at the building for affordable units set aside for New Yorkers earning 60 percent of the area median income.

All apartments feature oak wood floors, white pine custom cabinets, top-of-the-line appliances, in-unit laundry, and flexible open-layouts. Amenities include a rooftop, fitness center, bike storage, tenant lounges, and an attended lobby.
