One of the fanciest new luxury buildings in Manhattan is offering units to rent starting at $1,450 -- but there's a catch.

The 36 units being offered at below-market rents inside the Via 57 West in Hell's Kitchen are part of an affordable housing lottery, meaning applicants' qualifying income levels will have to range between $51,532 for a single-person household and $132,840 for a six-member household.
