New York Post: NYC’s cheapest housing might be its chicest
Robert A.M. Stern’s namesake architecture firm has designed some of the city’s most celebrated luxury addresses: 15 Central Park West and 30 Park Place among them, which feature limestone exteriors and multimillion-dollar units.
Perhaps it’s no surprise that one of the firm’s latest proposals, in Brooklyn, is pretty nice. The beige-brick building has a roof with pergolas, a gym and homes ranging from 300-square-foot studios to 1,100-square-foot three-bedrooms. Dubbed Edwin’s Place and located at 3 Livonia Ave. in Brownsville, it’s a 126-unit development — where rents start at $462 monthly for a studio — for low-income and homeless tenants, as well as veterans.
