Type and Scope of services to be performed:

This project represents a complex partnership between the State and City and County of Denver to develop affordable housing. The project was awarded competitive 4% + State Affordable Housing Tax Credits by the Colorado Housing and Finance Authority (CHFA). The project also has a loan with similar terms from the State and is located on a State Land Board-owned site. The project is generally envisioned as workforce housing marketed toward teachers and other moderate-income professionals in the downtown area. The land lease arrangement on this site is part of Governor Polis' vision for using excess state land to build housing for teachers. CHFA is issuing the Private Activity Bonds required for the 4% tax credit.

 

HOST has negotiated a $1,415,000 cash flow loan to support construction. The terms of the City loan include 1% interest, deferred payments anticipated to begin in Year 10, a 50-year term loan to match the land lease, and a 60-year restrictive covenant and Deed of Trust.

 

The project will provide 103 income-restricted units, of which 73 will be 1 bedroom/1 bath, 5 will be 2 bedroom/1 bath, and the remaining 25 will be 2 bedroom/ 2 bath. Within this mix, 7 units are set-aside for households earning up to 30% of the area median income (AMI), another 7 for 40% AMI, 22 for 50% AMI, 34 for 60% AMI, 20 for 70% AMI, and the remaining 13 for 80% AMI. The project will be utilizing income averaging and as such the 80% AMI units likely won't realize the full 80% AMI rents.
