American Copper Buildings Make Available 160 Affordable Units in Murray Hill

MURRAY HILL, NY — The American Copper Buildings strike quite an image in the Midtown East skyline. And now you have a chance to live there for as little as $833 per month.

The buildings, which will have 800 residences when completed, feature the first skybridge in the city in 80 years, according to the developer. It'll also include a gym, lap pool, spa, children’s playroom, resident lounge, in-unit washer and dryers, bicycle storage and a roof-top pool (if you're not scared of heights while you swim).

Applications for the lottery opened Monday. But you will have to meet strict affordable housing requirements to apply.

There will be 43 studios available at $833 per month for individuals making $29,898 to $38,100 annually.

There will be 66 one-bedroom apartments available at $895 a month for an individual making $32,058 to $38,100 or two-person household making $32,058 to $43,500 annually.

Forty-one two-bedroom apartments are up for grabs at $1,082 per month for a two-person household making $38,503 to $43,500, three-person household making $38,503 to $48,960 or four-person household making $38,503 to $54,360 annually.

Finally, there are 10 three-bedroom apartments available at $1,247 a month for a three-person household making $44,606 to $48,960, four-person household making $44,606 to $54,360, five-person household making $44,606 to $58,740 or six-person household making $44,606 to $63,060 annually.

Fifty percent of the units available will go toward people already living in Community Board 6, which covers the east side of Manhattan from 14th Street to 59th Street.
