The housing lottery process for the project, which will ultimately have a total of 700 affordable units, is slated to start in late 2016. Those who make 40 or 50 percent of the area’s median income — from $20,109 to $24,080 or from $25,564 to $30,100 — qualify for a studio in the building, DNA reported.

Affordable one-bedroom units will be between $595 and $765, affordable two-bedroom apartments are priced from $723 to $916. [DNAinfo] — Claire Moses
