NEW ORLEANS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Advantage Capital, a leading impact investment firm that invests with intention in underserved areas and expands access to affordable housing opportunities across the country, today announced the financial closing of three Georgia affordable housing developments to bring 623 housing units to Atlanta and nearby Lawrenceville, Ga. The homes will be made available to families and seniors earning at or below the household area median income.
Advantage Capital leveraged more than $53 million in state Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) to finance the development of the following much-needed housing opportunities:
- The Flats at Stone Hogan in Atlanta, a $99.9 million new construction, 256-unit multifamily development.
- The Villas at Stone Hogan in Atlanta, a $68.9 million new construction, 192-unit, age-restricted (55 and older) development.
- Applewood Towers in Lawrenceville, a proposed acquisition and rehabilitation of two adjacent properties – Applewood Towers I and Applewood Towers II. Both properties were originally built with HUD Section 202 financing and serve seniors 62 and older.
“Residents in Georgia, including seniors, face a significant challenge amid rising housing and rental costs, limited housing availability, and other barriers,” said Tori Cook, Vice President at Advantage Capital. “We are pleased to be working with LIHTC developers to help address the affordable housing shortage in Georgia and ultimately provide individuals and families in the state with more options.”
The developer for the two Stone Hogan properties is Zimmerman Properties, and the developers for the Applewood Towers combined property is Mansermar Development and Rebuild America.
