title

A resolution approving a proposed First Amendment and Modification Agreement between the City and County of Denver and Walnut Street Lofts, LLLP to amend and modify the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement.

Amends a loan agreement with Walnut Street Lofts, LLLP to add language allowing the City's loan to take a subordinate position to the Colorado Housing and Finance Authority's (CHFA) Land Use Restriction Agreement (LURA) for a soon-to-be completed 66-unit affordable rental project located at 3733 Walnut Street in Council District 9 (OEDEV-201844238-01). The last regularly scheduled Council meeting within the 30-day review period is on 8-24-20. The Committee approved filing this item at its meeting on 7-22-20.

body

 

Affected Council District(s) or citywide? Council District 9

 

Contract Control Number: OEDEV-201844238-01

 

Vendor/Contractor Name (including any “DBA”): Walnut Street Lofts, LLLP

 

Type and Scope of services to be performed:

On December 5, 2018, the city executed a loan agreement authorizing a $1,350,000 loan for the development of Walnut Street Lofts, a 66-unit project affordable to rental tenants at or below 60% of the area median income. Construction is almost completed on this project, and the borrower will soon be ready to begin leasing units.

 

                     Because the property is now leasing, it is required to submit a “Placed in Service Application" to the Colorado Housing and Finance Authority (CHFA).  The Placed in Service Application provides information CHFA needs to finalize and record its planned Land Use Restriction Agreement (LURA) for the project. 

 

                     The recording of the LURA allows the project's investor to claim tax credits for units occupied in 2020. Our recorded covenant will need to be subordinated to CHFA’s LURA. The city’s original loan agreement does not authorize the subordination of the city’s recorded covenant to CHFA’s LURA, and thus requires the requested amendment.  

 

        There is no change in loan duration or financial impact to this amendment.
