Micro-Apartments at Carmel Place Starting from $2,562 and Offering a Month Free

The 120-foot tall, 9-floor structure hosts 55 studios, 22 of which are earmarked as affordable; more than 60,000 micro-hopefuls applied to the housing lottery last fall. Each modular studio residence was pre-fabricated in the Brooklyn Navy Yard, and assembled on site by Capsys. Sunlight-bathed homes are outfitted with 8-foot windows and nearly 10-foot ceilings. Juliette balconies, full-depth closets and creative storage solutions take advantage of every available inch. Kitchens feature custom Italian cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, Hansgrohe fixtures, a fold-down table/counter, full-height pull-out pantry, a range, and an 18-inch dishwasher.
