A new 21-story Midtown East building combining affordable and supportive housing for unhoused women launched a lottery this week for 51 low-income apartments. Located at 225 East 45th Street, in between Grand Central and the United Nations headquarters, Willow Tree Residences has 130 residential apartments and shares the building with the New Providence Women’s Shelter, a 170-bed facility that offers on-site services. New Yorkers earning 60 percent of the area median income can apply for the studio apartments, priced at $1,122/month.
Developed by Monadnock Development and Project Renewal and designed by Dattner Architects, the project involved demolishing two existing buildings and building a new 21-story tower with 171 shelter beds and 130 affordable housing units. The shelter takes up floors two through seven and will serve single adult women.
The remaining floors will be home to the 130 affordable units, with 79 apartments set aside for formerly homeless individuals and 51 for low-income individuals.
