Type and Scope of services to be performed:
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This amendment is taking advantage of an opportunity to save HOST $900,000 on this loan as a result of this project’s increased tax credit equity caused by Congressional action in January to fix the Applicable Percentage Rate (APR) at 4% for the “non-competitive” 4% Low-Income Housing Tax Credit.
This will be a $2,100,000 ($14,583 per unit) low-interest loan to complete a 144-unit affordable housing development. As a for-profit entity, the borrower is proposing to pay the City back within 40 years at a 1% interest rate, rather than a performance loan. Execution of the City’s 60-year covenant and subordinate Deed of Trust will also be a condition of closing.
Of the 144 total units, 36 (25%) will be affordable at 30% AMI, 7 at 40% AMI, 12 at 50% AMI, 10 at 60% AMI, 50 at 70% AMI, and 29 at 80% AMI. Forty-eight will be one-bedroom, 54 will be two-bedroom, and 42 will be three-bedroom. Altogether, two thirds of the unit mix will be comprised of two or three-bedroom units. The Reserves of Green Valley Ranch will also have a market-rate component that is completely separate from this capital stack and unit mix but will share the same vehicular entrance off of Green Valley Ranch Boulevard.
The $40 million project will be funded through approximately $13 million in tax credit equity, a $20 million permanent loan, a $1,075,000 loan from CDOH, and lastly $1,130,527 in deferred developer fee (representing roughly 40% of the total developer fee). The deferred developer fee may be increased to cover any cost overruns during construction. These are approximate figures as they are subject to minor fluctuations until financial closing when eligible tax credit basis costs are locked.
