LOS ANGELES, Dec. 6, 2018 – Hunt Capital Partners, in conjunction with Pennrose, announced today the closing of $9.3 million in federal low-income housing tax credit (LIHTC) equity financing for the new construction of the Village at Nauset Green in Massachusetts. Located in the Town of Eastham on Cape Cod, the mixed-use development will provide 65 units spread across 18 garden-style townhomes. The groundbreaking will take place Dec. 7, 2018, and once construction is completed, the Village at Nauset Green will offer 39 LIHTC, eight Section 8, three Section 811 and 15 workforce units.
The Cape Cod region has an affordable rental housing gap of 4,441 units, according to the Cape Cod Commission as reported in Housing on Cape Cod: The High Cost of Doing Nothing. The Town of Eastham has the lowest percentage of affordable housing on Cape Cod. Bringing affordable housing to this location through the development of the Village at Nauset Green will have a tangible impact on the extremely low-income, low-income and workforce families in the community.
“Hunt Capital Partners is proud to work with Pennrose as well as our investor, JPMorgan Chase, to address the affordable housing gap on Cape Cod with the development of the Village at Nauset Green,” said Hunt Capital Partners Executive Managing Director Dana Mayo.
When finished in January 2020, the Village at Nauset Green will offer a full complement of unit amenities as well as a community clubhouse, playground and on-site management. The LIHTC units will be restricted to 60 percent of the area median income (AMI) while both the Section 8 and Section 811 units will be restricted to 30 percent AMI.
The total development cost for the Village at Nauset Green is $23 million.
