What Is Being Built at 1760 Third Avenue

1760 Third Avenue is an 18-story brick tower from the 1970s, first a nursing home and then a dormitory, that Breaking Ground bought in June 2024 and is converting into 434 apartments.

Size: Department of Buildings alteration job 121253829 lists 18 stories, 186 feet, 247,615 square feet and a cost of $45,000,000, with 424 dwelling units before the work and 434 after.
Owner and manager: city property records name 1760 Third Avenue Housing Development Fund Corp, in care of Breaking Ground. Its page says "Breaking Ground will serve as the property manager".
Architect and builder: Breaking Ground's release says "Dattner Architects is the project architect and Archstone Builders LLC is the general contractor."
Programs: HPD's Supportive Housing Loan Program and the State's Supportive Housing Opportunity Program, in the listing.

Watch outone building, two house numbers. Housing Connect names the lottery "1760 3rd Avenue Residence" and gives the address as "1768 3 AVENUE", the number HPD's data and the city's property file also use. The building permit, the advertisement ("1760 Third Avenue Residence"), Breaking Ground and the State say 1760 Third Avenue. The city's address search returns one lot for both: Manhattan block 1625, lot 33.

434 Apartments: 172 on Housing Connect, 261 Supportive

The counts fit together: 172 lottery apartments plus 261 supportive apartments make 433, and the superintendent's apartment makes 434.

How each source counts the apartments

434the conversion permit, HPD's data and Breaking Ground, whose page reserves "261 of 434 total units" as supportive, "The balance of 172 units" for the lottery and one "for an onsite superintendent".

Key pointHPD's data matches the lottery: 261 extremely low income apartments (0 to 30% AMI), 172 low income (51 to 80%) and one in a column reserved "for building superintendents".

Watch outthe state bond resolution of November 20, 2024 gives a higher ceiling: apartments "expected to be set aside for households with income at or below 65% of the Area Median Income". The listing and the advertisement say 60%.

Who the 261 apartments outside the lottery are for

The listing: "Sixty percent of units in supportive housing are set aside for formerly homeless individuals or families with special needs, who are referred by city agencies."
Breaking Ground: "261 of 434 total units for individuals exiting homelessness, including a subset of 40 units for young adults aging out of foster care or who have experienced homelessness".

Rents and Income Ranges in the Housing Connect Listing for 1760 Third Avenue

The 172 lottery apartments have two rents, $1,328 a month for a studio and $1,660 for a one-bedroom, and the lowest minimum income in the listing is $45,532 a year.

Apartments	Rent	People	Yearly income
127 studios, 60% AMI	$1,328	1 to 2	$45,532 to $81,420
45 one-bedrooms, 60% AMI	$1,660	1 to 3	$56,915 to $91,620

What it means: a year of rent is 35% of the minimum income for both sizes, by VoucherMatch's arithmetic: $15,936 of $45,532 and $19,920 of $56,915.

Which Rents a CityFHEPS or Section 8 Voucher Reaches

Both rents are under the 2026 CityFHEPS maximum for the same apartment size: the studio by $1,276 a month and the one-bedroom by $1,074.

This was a lottery on NYC Housing Connect, and the listing names HPD and two state housing agencies. The Housing Connect FAQ says: "Minimum income requirements do not apply if you have a voucher or a rental subsidy. However, rent should be within maximum limits allowed by your voucher or rental assistance program."
