Nearly 90,000 applications for affordable apartments at City Point in Downtown Brooklyn
Eye On Real Estate
If you wonder about how intense the demand for affordable housing really is in Brooklyn, consider this: There were 87,754 applications for the 200 affordable apartments at 7 DeKalb Ave.
That sky-high number comes courtesy of Aron Gooblar, vice president of Washington Square Partners, one of the firms that owns the newly constructed apartment tower at City Point, a mixed-use mega-development in Downtown Brooklyn.
Eighty percent of the 250 apartments in this rental building are affordable units. The tower was constructed through the Mixed Income Program of the New York City Housing Development Corp.
