42 middle-income units up for grabs at luxury Downtown Brooklyn rental with a pool, roof deck

Just this week, leasing launched at the splashy new Downtown Brooklyn rental 1 Boerum Place, with units including a $4,385/month one-bedroom and a $6,646/month two-bedroom. But if you earn 130 percent of the median income and are one of the 42 lucky applicants chosen, you can live in this luxury building for a lot less. A middle-income affordable housing lottery opened today and the available apartments range from $2,000/month studios to $3,120/month two-bedrooms. In addition to beautiful homes, the centrally located building offers a high-end amenity package that includes a rooftop terrace (complete with a “stargazing lawn”), an indoor swimming pool, sauna, and automated parking.

Construction wrapped up just this year on the 21-story building, which comes from developer Avery Hall Investments and the architects at SLCE. Taking up a full city block, it’s located directly across from Borough Hall, within walking distance to almost every major subway line.

The full suite of amenities includes 24/7 doorman and concierge services, a two-story fitness center complete with Peloton bikes and a yoga room, swimming pool, sauna, pet spa with grooming station, entertainment lounge, children’s playroom, a parking garage with electric car charging stations (fees apply), and a storage room.

The top floor amenity space has multiple seating areas and a large kitchen.

The landscaped rooftop deck was designed by Brook Landscape and includes an outdoor kitchen, stargazing lawn, and the “chalet lounge” fireplace.
