Gotcha.
0:21:41
Just a few more.
0:21:42
You mentioned that the passing of the city of yes zoning for housing opportunity would affect this project by allowing another story sorry about that.
0:21:55
Another story to the 2 tower building.
0:21:58
Your does your team have a projected unit mix for this additional potential floor?
Peter Procida
0:22:04
Yes.
0:22:05
That is on oh, sorry.
0:22:09
What slide is this?
Melissa Otten
0:22:11
Yeah.
0:22:12
It's it's in the presentation.
Yusef Salaam
0:22:15
And and as you as you look for that too, I just wanted to know as well Will the approval or the disapproval of the city of E.
0:22:22
S.
0:22:22
Zoning for housing opportunity affect this project's timeline and financial planning in any significant manner?
Tariq Shahid

Good question.
Peter Procida
0:22:32
At the moment, we are working through HPD's pipeline.
0:22:36
We do not know if and when we're or we know we will close, but we don't know when.
0:22:41
That's a question that HPD will have to answer.
0:22:45
We are still in the approval stage as it relates to DOB.
0:22:50
We anticipate filing our plans towards the end of this year, and we're preparing to do that.
0:22:57
And assuming that city of yes passes in October, November, which has kind of been the the timeline that we've heard, it will not impact our approvals timeline.
0:23:06
How it relates to the closing is a question that HPD would have to answer.
Yusef Salaam
0:23:12
Gotcha.
0:23:13
And
Peter Procida
0:23:13
then that those are the that's the impact based on city of yes.
0:23:18
So the current proposal is the 109 units.
0:23:21
And if city of yes passes, we bump up to 123.
0:23:25
So the percentages of studios once twos and threes remaining proportionally the same, and the AMI mix would would also remain proportionally the same.
