Live in ODA’s new Crown Heights rental from $845/month, lottery opening for 24 units
It’s been over two years since ODA Architects first released a rendering of their rental project at 1040 Dean Street (formerly 608 Franklin Avenue) in Crown Heights. Featuring the firm’s signature glassy, boxy aesthetic, the eight-story, 133,582-square-foot project rose on part of the site of the shuttered Nassau Brewery, just a block away from hot-spot food hall Berg’n. Of its 120 units, 20 percent will be reserved for those earning no more than 60 percent of the area media income, and starting tomorrow, qualifying New Yorkers can apply to these affordable units, ranging from $845/month studios to $1,022 two-bedrooms.

Qualifying New Yorkers can apply for the affordable units starting tomorrow until March 13, 2017. Residents of Brooklyn Community Board 8 will be given preference for 50 percent of the units, with up to half of those allocated through referrals of applicants from city agencies.
