An affordable housing lottery has opened for 217 apartments in a new 100% affordable residential development at the former Greenpoint Hospital site in East Williamsburg, Brooklyn, according to Brownstoner.
Monthly rents start at $751, offering eligible households an opportunity to secure rent-stabilized housing in the neighbourhood.
The development, known as Kingsland Commons Building 2, is located at 89 Maspeth Ave.
The 18-story, 311-unit building is part of a larger redevelopment of the former hospital campus. Developed by nonprofit St. Nicks Alliance and Hudson Companies, the project is designed by Architecture Outfit and Magnusson Architecture and Planning. Completion is expected in early 2027.
The housing lottery includes studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments, with monthly rents ranging from $751 to $3,220.
Eligible households of one to seven people must have annual incomes between $29,418 and $168,320, depending on household size and apartment category. The building also includes 93 apartments designated for formerly homeless residents and one unit for a superintendent.
The development forms part of a long-running effort to transform the former Greenpoint Hospital campus into an affordable mixed-use community.
The hospital closed in 1982, and subsequent redevelopment plans faced years of delays as community advocates pushed for affordable housing and services. The wider Kingsland Commons project is expected to deliver 557 affordable homes across the site.
Residents will have access to a fitness center, lounge, children's playroom, laundry facilities, landscaped courtyard, terrace and bicycle storage. Apartments will include dishwashers and microwaves. Heat, cooling and hot water are included in the rent, while tenants are responsible for electricity.
Applications for the housing lottery must be submitted by Nov. 25, 2026, through NYC Housing Connect.
The broader Kingsland Commons redevelopment is expected to be completed in phases over the next five years.
