PROJECT PROFILE | |
Carville Park Apartments Reno, NV |
PROJECT DESCRIPTION |
The AFL-CIO Housing Investment Trust (HIT) is helping to finance the $65.8 million substantial rehabilitation of Carville Park Apartments in Reno, NV. The existing complex was originally developed in 1979 by the Northern Nevada BCTC Dev. Corp ("NNDC"), a nonprofit affiliate of the Building and Construction Trades Council of Northern Nevada. For the past 45 years, NNDC has owned and operated this community, ensuring all units remained affordable with a preference towards seniors who qualify for HUD's Section 8 project-based voucher program. | |
The renovation of the community will significantly change the configuration of the units by converting the existing 52 dormitory-style "quad-units" into 208 individual units. After construction is complete, Carville Park will offer 52 one bedroom and 156 studio apartments. The redevelopment plan also includes major upgrades to the property's interior, exterior and common areas, including improvements to its energy efficiency. The project is designed to be 100% solar and to meet the Energy Star Multifamily New Construction National program requirements. | ||
Carville Park is the first development to be awarded funds from the Nevada State Infrastructure Bank's Affordable Housing Revolving Account, which requires that the developer demonstrates a long-term commitment to hiring local residents and using apprentices in apprenticeship programs, among other things. | ||
HIT ROLE | The HIT will invest $22.1 million to purchase Ginnie Mae Construction Loan Certificates and a Permanent Loan Certificate. | |
PARTNER | Northen Nevada Building and Construction Trades Council, The Canopy Companies, The Nevada State Infrastructure Bank, Merchants Capital Corporation. | |
SOCIAL IMPACT | All units at Carville Park will be reserved for individuals earning up to 50% of the area median income, covered by a 20-year Section 8 HAP contract. In addition, all units will be Energy Star certified, with renovated units anticipated to consume at least 50% less energy for heating and cooling compared to traditional units. The project will receive a 45-L Energy Tax Credit. |
