CLEVELAND, April 07, 2023 /CSRwire/ – KeyBank Community Development Lending and Investment (CDLI) KeyBank provided $83 million for the acquisition and rehabilitation of Woodway Square Apartments (Woodway), a 240-unit, affordable, family project located in Austin, Texas.

Construction financing is being arranged by KeyBank’s CDLI group with an equity bridge loan of approximately $18.2 million, a $40 million private placement construction to permanent loan provided and Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) equity of $24 million.

The sponsor/developer Dominium is a prolific affordable housing developer, with headquarters in Plymouth, Minnesota and regional offices in Atlanta, Dallas, Minneapolis, and Phoenix.

Woodway is a 240-unit, garden-style community for individuals and families earning no more than 60% of the area median income. The property includes twelve-buildings with 60 one-bedroom units, 138 two-bedroom units, and 42 three-bedroom units. The affordable community includes on-site management, a community room, playground, and swimming pool. The property will undergo a rehabilitation with a total project cost of $72 million.

The project received local support and engagement through the Section 811 Project Rental Assistance (PRA) program which provides project-based rental assistance for low-income persons with disabilities linked with long term services. The program is made possible through a partnership between the State Agency and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) and creates the opportunity for persons with disabilities to live as independently as possible.

Anna Belanger of KCDC and Kelly Frank of CDLI structured the financing.
