Half of the rental units, which will have their own entrance in low-rise buildings on Greenwich and Murray Streets, will be market-rate, 30 percent for middle-income and 20 percent for low-income.

The developer is contributing $7.5 million for the maintenance of the Washington Market Park and another $3 million for a community center on an adjacent block.
