The Challenge
Because of the value offered, rent prices at The Brooklyn Tower had to be listed close to or at the maximum allowable workbook rents. This means that prices would still be at a significant discount when compared to market rate rents, but would be out of reach for a significant portion of applicants.

The Solution
MGNY worked carefully with JDS to construct a marketing and advertising campaign that appeals to the target audience (ie. those that income-qualify), ensuring that qualified applicants apply.
