Detroit’s Corktown Neighborhood to Receive 188 New Mixed-Income Units Representing $84M Investment

by Kristin Harlow

DETROIT — Detroit’s historic Corktown neighborhood is set to receive three new mixed-income housing developments: Bagley Townhomes & Flats, West of 10th Apartments and Trumbull Apartments. Together, the three projects will bring 188 new residential units, including more than 150 affordable homes supported through the city by a portion of Detroit’s $35 million federal Choice Neighborhoods Implementation (CNI) grant. Fifth Third Bank (formerly Comerica Bank) and Citizens Bank are also providing funding for the developments, which are part of the ongoing redevelopment of the former Clement Kern Gardens site. American Community Developers Inc. is leading development of all three projects, which collectively represent nearly $84 million in total investment. Located just west of downtown Detroit, Corktown has long served as a gateway community for generations of immigrants and working-class families. Originally settled by Irish immigrants in the mid-1800s, the neighborhood became known for its close-knit residential blocks and historic row houses. In recent years, Corktown has experienced significant redevelopment activity, driven by public and private investment surrounding Michigan Central, Roosevelt Park and the broader southwest Detroit corridor. The City of Detroit was awarded a $35 million CNI grant in May 2021 by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. …

InterFace Panel: Affordable Housing Deal Flow Gains Momentum as Brokers Turn Bullish

by Abby Cox

ATLANTA — For much of the past two years, affordable housing transactions in the Southeast moved at a measured pace, slowed by severe cost burdens on both renters and prospective buyers and widening supply deficits. But inside this year’s InterFace Affordable Housing Southeast show, a networking and information conference held at The Westin Buckhead Atlanta on May 12, the tone has shifted. Phones are ringing again, deals are re-entering the pipeline and investors are showing a renewed willingness to chase affordable housing opportunities across the region. Editor’s note: InterFace Conference Group, a division of France Media Inc., produces networking and educational conferences for commercial real estate executives. To sign up for email announcements about specific events, visit www.interfaceconferencegroup.com/subscribe. Rachel Chapman, national account executive of Stewart Title Guaranty Co., moderated the discussion, entitled “Brokers, Buyers and Capital.” The investment sales panel notably reverted to a subject and question that’s shaping much of today’s affordable housing market: with elevated borrowing costs and general economic uncertainty, why is transaction activity accelerating? Necessitating that question for developers and brokers are the thorns still present in the industry, such as the lengthy process of securing and pricing loans, interest rate volatility and capital markets shifts. Even with these headwinds, …

Lument Provides $28M HUD-Insured Loan for Ohio Affordable Housing Property

by Kristin Harlow

LORAIN, OHIO — Lument has provided a $28 million HUD/FHA Section 221(d)(4) loan on behalf of TFG Housing Resources and Raise Up for the acquisition and substantial rehabilitation of Western Horizon, a 353-unit affordable housing community in Lorain, about 25 miles west of Cleveland. The transaction utilized a component of the Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) program that allows for blending RAD with Section 18 of the National Housing Act to fund the preservation of aging affordable housing. Lument’s Joey Hague led the transaction. The units were converted through the RAD program in conjunction with 4 percent Low-Income Housing Tax Credits through the Ohio Housing Finance Agency. In addition to the FHA mortgage, Lument Securities served as the underwriter for $9.2 million in tax-exempt bonds. Originally built in the 1950s as three separate communities, Leavitt Homes, Westview Terrace and Westgate Apartments have historically operated as public housing. As a result of the RAD conversion utilizing FHA financing, the properties now operate as one and are being rebranded as Western Horizon. Post renovation, all units will be assisted by project-based rental assistance with rents restricted to 60 percent of the area median income. TFG Housing Resources is a Columbus-based real estate developer …

InterFace Panel: Architects Share Solutions to Affordable Housing Delivery Gaps 

by Kristin Harlow

Affordable housing developers are under pressure to deliver more units at a time when financing, approvals, construction pricing and long development timelines can easily slow projects down. At InterFace Affordable Housing Southeast, architects and construction leaders emphasized the importance of early collaboration among developers, designers, lenders and public-sector partners. They also explored how modular construction, mass timber, light-gauge steel framing and energy-efficient strategies are being used to control costs, shorten schedules and improve long-term operations. The panelists agreed that design decisions in affordable housing are increasingly tied to insurance costs, maintenance expenses and resident quality of life. The panel’s central message: affordable housing must pencil out financially, but it also must be built to best support all aspects of the communities it serves. Read the full story here.
