Applying households must make $ 79,333-$119,250 a year, and have no more than a little over $200,000 in assets, plus the amount of a 10 percent down payment.

Applicants must not own or have previously bought residential property, and if selected must use the new condo as their primary residence. 

The remainder of the apartments in the building will sell for market rates, and the developer is seeking an upper crust clientele. To this end, the building has a door person, an on-site manager, laundry, a kid's playroom, a courtyard, a lounge, a salon, a bike room, and for additional fees, a gym, a pool, a recording studio designed by Lenny Kravitz, a dog spa, and stroller valet service. A two-bedroom in the building is currently in contract for over $3 million.

The Kent is two blocks from the 96th Street Q and 4 and 6 stations. There will be retail on the ground floor.
