The lottery apartments are one and two bedrooms renting for $950 and $1,050, respectively, and reserved for households making $32,572-$57,240 a year.
The building is described as having a roof deck and in-apartment washers and dryers. The remaining units are renting for market rates—a two bedroom is currently listed for $4,500 a month.
