The Concept
The House offers a traditional residential setting with unmatched access to the New York City experience, with abundant space for communal gathering to support a collaborative environment that encourages student-faculty synergy. The apartments are oriented to take advantage of the breathtaking panoramic views of the new campus looking up and down the East River, Manhattan and Queens.
About the Apartments
The House at Cornell Tech is a full-service apartment building, not a traditional dorm. From studios to shared suites, the size and layouts of the units at The House are designed to accommodate a range of renter needs throughout the building’s 26 stories, offering a range of privacy and affordable solutions. Each apartment comes fully furnished, with an in unit full kitchen and bathroom. Bedrooms in shared suites have electronic key locks that make each bedroom completely private and secure, and are also equipped with individual temperature controls—meaning individualized comfort. Building-wide secure Wi-Fi and broadcast television is available and included in your rent.

**Limited Option for Shorter License Agreement Rental Period
There are a very small number of shared Zone 2 apartments of 3 bedroom size (see ** above) for which we will offer a shorter housing license term. The dates of occupancy will be August 7, 2023 – May 20, 2024. The rent for the large bedroom in a 3 bedroom apartment will be $15,800 and the small bedroom option will be $15,200.
Applicants will have the option to indicate their preference for this option within the application. Students will be assigned to an apartment with other students selecting this option. This option is not guaranteed due to the small number of units available and shorter license agreement rental periods are not available for any other apartment unit type.
Note that earlier move in dates or later move out dates are not negotiable. Students wishing to remain in campus housing until July 15, 2024 for personal reasons or OPT/other visa application timing issues should not select this option as a preferred apartment assignment type within the application.
