The building’s remarkable shape required 178 unique floorplans to make the most optimal use of the space and, as expected for such a high-profile project, the rents aren’t for the faint-hearted. The 709 units are a mix of sizes, with studios starting at $3,000 per month, and large four-bedroom apartments running a jaw-dropping $16,500. Out of the 709 apartments, 142 will be affordable units that will start at $565 for a studio. These will be awarded based on a lottery system that opened in October 2015.
