SACRAMENTO — Hunt Capital Partners has closed $3.5 million in Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) equity financing for the acquisition and rehabilitation of Pacific Rim Apartments, an affordable housing property in Sacramento. The borrower, Alliance Property Group, plans to upgrade the garden-style complex, which was originally built in 2004.
Slated for completion in July 2021, the renovated community will offer 31 three-bedroom units and an additional three-bedroom unit for management. The development team includes Day Builders, Musser: Architects and FPI Management. Planned site and exterior improvements include pavement, fencing and landscaping repair; installation of additional barbecue and playground areas; a new roofing overlay; and construction of a new management office/community room with a laundry facility. Individual units will be outfitted with new kitchen appliances, flooring, various automatic sensors and fresh paint.
Once completed, Pacific Rim Apartments units will be leased to family households earning up to 50 percent and 60 percent of the area median income. Additionally, All Things Are Possible, a nonprofit organization, will provide a variety of residential services, including food distribution, parenting and mentor workshops, English-as-a-second-language classes, veteran services, toddler support, employment search and resume assistance.
The total development cost for the Pacific Rim Apartments renovations is $11.2 million. Hunt re-syndicated the federal LIHTCs through its multi-investor fund, Hunt Capital Partners Tax Credit Fund 37. California Bank & Trust provided a $5.5 million tax-exempt construction bond loan and a $2.2 million tax-exempt permanent bond loan. The Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency issued $2.5 million in construction-to-permanent financing, as well as $2.5 million assumed construction-to-permanent financing.
