PROJECT
DESCRIPTION
 

The AFL-CIO Housing Investment Trust (HIT) is providing financing for the $7.9 million acquisition and re-syndication of an 83-unit senior affordable apartment community residing on 2.78-acres in Mounds View, MN. Silver Lake Pointe consists of one residential building, which is three stories in height, with an underground parking garage and elevator. The unit mix includes 50 one-bedroom units and 33 two-bedroom units.

 

The transaction includes renovations to the apartment building, which has not undergone major renovations since its construction in 1995. The renovations will modernize residential units and common areas, and improve building systems. The scope also includes accessibility enhancements, including four fully accessible units, two units with audio/visual alarm systems and ADA-compliant parking and sidewalk improvements.

 

Conveniences located near the project include service providers, retail stores, restaurants, healthcare providers, educational institutions, and recreational areas.

HIT ROLE   The HIT will facilitate the project’s acquisition and re-syndication efforts by purchasing a taxable Ginnie Mae Permanent Loan Certificate. Since 1991, the HIT has financed 119 projects in Minnesota and 88 projects in the Twin Cities, all built 100% with union construction labor.
SOCIAL IMPACT   As part of the proposed transaction, new 4% Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) equity will be issued, and 100% of the units will be restricted to 50% area median income (AMI). Furthermore, it is anticipated that the project will continue to be intended and operated for occupancy by persons 55 years of age or older and must abide by Minnesota Housing’s definition of senior housing.
