160 Affordable Apartments Up For Grabs In Bedford Union Armory Complex

CROWN HEIGHTS, BROOKLYN — A slate of apartments in the new Bedford Union Armory complex have hit the city's affordable housing lottery, records show.

The 160 studio, one, two and three bedroom apartments are found in the new building at 1101 President St., the larger of the two residential complexes planned for the redevelopment project, according to records and reports.

The units will go to those making as little as $18,515 per year.

At that income level, studios will cost $465 per month, one bedrooms will go for $591 per month, two bedrooms will cost $700 per month and three bedrooms will be $800 per month, records show.

Apartments are also up for grabs at three other income brackets. The most expensive will require applicants make $39,120 per year for a studio.

A full breakdown of prices can be found on the listing.

The 1101 President St. building comes with in-unit washers and dryers, a recreation room, a gym, a business center, a rooftop terrace and outdoor areas, according to the listing.

The housing lottery comes nearly a year after the long-awaited — and often controversial — community center at the armory officially opened its doors. The building, now called the Major R. Owens Health and Wellness Community Center, includes 60,000-square-foot facilities.

Apartments in the armory's second residential building hit the affordable housing lottery last summer.

In all, the residential portion of the Armory project is slated to bring 415 homes, 250 of which will be set aside as affordable.
