***Depending on the unit, The Parliament at market rate is 10-20% more affordable than Spoke. This equates to the difference in needing to make at least $85k (SPOKE) & $68k (The Parliament) for a 2 bedroom apartment. Or the difference of $65k (Spoke) & $58k (The Parliament) on one bedrooms.
The Parliament includes 5 units of affordable housing at 80% AMI.
