An affordable housing lottery has opened for a new nine-story development on the corner of Bond and Carroll streets, steps away from the Carroll Street Bridge. The complex, dubbed Maison Bond, is another large residential building stemming from the Gowanus rezoning, and it includes a gym, roof deck with a grilling station, and a skybridge.
Included in the lottery for 335 Bond St. are 18 one- and two-bedroom apartments, all rent stabilized and income restricted, 14 of which could be deemed truly affordable. Those are set aside for families earning 40-60% of the Area Median Income, or between $37,955 and $105,000 a year for households of one to five people, according to the listing.
Seven of the units are one-bedrooms going for $907 and $1,437 a month and seven are two-bedroom apartments going for $1,052 and $1,687, a month. The remaining four apartments are aimed at households of one to five people earning 100% of AMI, or $92,435 to $175,000 for households of one to five people. One-bedrooms in this bracket cost $2,496 and two-bedrooms rent for $2,958 a month.
Permits show the nine-story, 70-unit Maison Bond was designed by Studio V Architecture and developed by E & M Realty Corp, with father and son Robert and Eduard Slinin both signing for the LLC.
In addition to the gym and roof deck, the building has bike storage lockers and a shared laundry room, according to the listing, which says some amenities come at a fee. The building is smoke free and residents are allowed one pet per apartment, but they must weigh less than 40 pounds and are subject to breed restrictions, the listing says.
Apartments have dishwashers, washers and dryers, and triple-glazed floor-to-ceiling windows, the listing notes. Tenants have to pay for electricity, which includes the stove, heating, and hot water.
Renderings show the corner building is finished in light grey brick with evenly spaced tall rectangular windows that are interspersed with arched windows. The commercial ground floor is set back and fronted by large arches and a corner cut out with brick detailing, creating an eye-catching opening.
The renderings also show the landscaped rooftop and patios, as well as street-front plantings and the skybridge. The short skybridge on an upper story links two corners of the building.
Unregulated apartments in the building started leasing in January, according to StreetEasy. The six units currently listed online include one-bedrooms starting at $4,604 a month and two-bedrooms from $5,958. The most expensive listing is a two-bedroom penthouse for $10,208.
Prior to the new development, the site on the corner of Bond and Carroll streets was home to a single-story industrial building operating as the hub for a ground transportation company. It appears the company was operated by Eduard Slinin. Unlike other owners of industrial buildings in the neighborhood that sold to developers leading up to the rezoning, E & M Realty Corp (with the Slinins behind) bought the building in 1995 and kept and developed the property.
Because the development takes advantage of the rezoning, it is required to include affordable units under the city’s Mandatory Inclusionary Housing program. It is also expected to receive the 421-a tax break, according to the listing.
The Maison Bond lottery closes on March 9. To apply, visit the listing on New York City’s Housing Connect website.
