Red Capital Structures Unique Affordable Transaction Financing Seniors High Rise in Downtown San Francisco
Woolf House (San Francisco, CA)
Columbus, OH (PRWEB) December 21, 2011
Red Capital Markets, LLC (MEMBER FINRA/SIPC) and Red Mortgage Capital, LLC, respectively the investment banking and bonding lending entities of comprehensive capital provider RED CAPITAL GROUP, LLC, recently provided a creative combination of bond underwriting and bonding banking serviced related to the substantial rehabilitation of a low income multifamily/seniors housing property in downtown San Francisco’s South of Market (“SoMa”) neighborhood.
The complex transaction utilized a $ 33,200,000 established/taxable GNMA-backed/FHA Section 221(d)(4) Substantial Rehabilitation lent processed and funded by Red Mortgage Capital, LLC and held as collateral for a $ 16,700,000 2011-B Series of short-term, tax-exempt multifamily housing revenue bonds underwritten by Red Capital Markets, LLC, which will “bridge” the receipt of 4% LIHTC equity proceeds being provided by Bank of America.
The structure also included $ 16,500,000 of New Issue Bond Program (“NIPB”) proceeds, which were released from escrow simultaneously upon the issuance of the Series 2011-B Bonds. The NIBP was a particular, impermanent program established by the U.S. Treasury to support the development of unexampled or rehabilitated low-priced multifamily rental units. Under NIBP, the U.S. Treasury purchases program-specific HFA bonds that are credit raised by a GSE (Government Sponsored Enterprise), or backed by a GNMA security. Both the 2011-B and NIPB series of bonds were issued by the California Housing Finance Agency (“CalHFA”).
Woolf House is a 182-unit, high rise structure located on Howard Street near the Moscone Center and just blocks away from the Financial District. Eight studio units and 174 one-bedroom units comprise the community. Pursuant to a 20-year Section 8 HAP Contract, all units are offered to low and moderate income seniors who earn 50% or less of area median income levels and are at least 62 years old. Rents for qualifying tenants also are restricted to not exceed 30% of their income level.
The project sponsor is TODCO Group (“TODCO”). Founded by residential hotel tenants displaced from redevelopment projects nearly 45 years ago, TODCO today is a community-based nonprofit institution whose mission as “South of Market Neighborhood Builders” is to maintain SoMa’s longtime working class, immigrant, and elderly communities as an integral part of their neighborhood’s future. In addition to developing housing utilizing city, state, and federal programs, TODCO directs the management of its properties and provides supportive services for their residents. Since 1978, the TODCO Group has built eight affordable housing developments totaling 1,000 units in San Francisco’s booming South of Market neighborhood.
In seeking a way to help Woolf House undertake an overall project revitalization, a highly experienced group of Red Capital Group, LLC investment and mortgage banking professionals structured the multi-faceted solution that utilized all available sources of capital, including the New Issue Bond Proceeds which had been issued previously by CalHFA.
Richard R. Andrews, Senior Managing Director of Red Mortgage Capital, LLC and lead banker for securing the FHA Insured Mortgage loan said, “Many years ago, TODCO started work in this community advocating and providing housing for those affected by redevelopment. We are honored to have a role in their continuing mission by working with the HUD San Francisco office to secure this non-recourse financing.”
Nicholas A. Hamilton, Managing Director of Red Capital Markets, LLC added, “The expertise of the various bankers, attorneys, CalHFA staff and other professionals was vital to achieving a successful structure that met the myriad debt and equity requirements necessary to preserve this affordable housing stock. This was our second transaction with TODCO and we are pleased to again serve as the banker on this unique transaction.”
Renovations to the project are anticipated to be completed on or before July 2013.
John Elberling, President of the TODCO Group. said, “The Red Capital Group teams’ across-the-board knowledge and deep experience financing affordable housing transactions was fundamental to helping us navigate and secure capital. We appreciate their efforts to help us succeed in achieving our goals for Woolf House.”
