Located between Fulton Street and Atlantic avenues, the eight-story building was designed by HTO Architect. The gray and white-paneled exterior was intended to “mirror” the neighborhood’s townhouse-lined streets.

The building — on the site of the former factory for Beigel’s Bakery — includes amenities such as basement storage, elevators, on-site parking, laundry room and a bike room. Madison Capital paid $23.5 million for the building, and Beigel’s has moved its historic operation to a new state-of-the-art facility in Canarsie.

Applications for the housing lottery can be made online at NYC Housing Connect. To request an application by mail, send a self-addressed envelope to: 555 Waverly Ave c/o Breaking Ground, PO Box 3620937, New York, NY, 10129.

Applications must be postmarked or submitted online no later than May 24, 2018.
