Partners and Financial Summary
2019 Community Lending
Chestnut Commons
MHANY Management, Inc. | Brooklyn, NY
$1,000,000 predevelopment loan
274 new affordable/supportive housing units
This mixed-use development was one of six financed with Project Start Fund capital. It will transform a brownfield site into permanently affordable apartments for low- and extremely low-income residents, with a focus on family-sized units and housing for the homeless. The project also offers a 33,540 SF community center and commercial space for a grocery store, pharmacy and bank.
Mill Street Café
RECAP, Inc. | Middletown, NY
$85,000 permanent loan
1 economic development project supported
The Mill Street Café is one of three job readiness training programs operated by RECAP to provide marketable skills for individuals on public assistance. Leviticus’ loan supported the build-out of the 1,200 SF café, which is connected to a 42-unit workforce housing development that we financed in 2014.
Brooklyn Conservatory of Music
Brooklyn, NY
$113,829 permanent loan, 1 nonprofit supported
The Conservatory used this loan to refinance and lower costs on existing debt, directing the annual savings to increase program capacity for music education and music therapy programs that each year serve over 6,000 primarily low-income students in New York City.
Boone Avenue
The Bridge, Inc. | Bronx, NY
$3,135,000 acquisition loan, 64 affordable/supportive housing units
Serving over 2,700 special need New Yorkers each year, the Bridge used this Project Start Fund loan to purchase land to construct 64 studio apartments for very low-income seniors and homeless adults with serious mental illness. The project incorporates energy-saving features, a community room and private backyard for residents, plus onsite supportive services.
Pitkin Avenue
Concern for Independent Living | Brooklyn, NY
$3,400,000 acquisition loan
52 affordable/supportive housing units
Concern operates over 1,200 supportive housing units on Long Island, Brooklyn and the Bronx. It used this Project Start Fund loan to purchase land to develop a seven-story, mixed-use building to serve formerly homeless adults with psychiatric disabilities and low-income seniors earning around $41,000 a year.
Poestenkill Place
The Community Builders (TCB) | Troy, NY
$1,159,031 acquisition and predevelopment loan
75 affordable/supportive housing units
This Project Start Fund loan supported local efforts to convert an industrial site into residential use, while addressing the area’s need for mixed income and special needs housing. About half of the units will serve extremely low-income households and include onsite supportive services; the remaining units will be a mix of affordable apartments, with seven at market-rate.
Brittany Terrace Manufactured Home Community
Rock Tavern, NY
$1,035,549 permanent loan, 87 senior homes preserved
Westbury Homeowners Association
Colchester, VT
$1,507,983 permanent loan, 250 homes preserved
Since 2008, Leviticus has been a co-lender with ROC USA Capital on 10 loans to help manufactured homeowners preserve the affordability of their communities. In 2019, residents in Brittany Terrace and Westbury organized and created governance structures that set the pathway for financing to purchase the properties. Brittany Terrace is a senior-only community and 50% of the residents are very low-income. Westbury has no age restrictions and 82% of the residents are low-income. Both communities have very stable tenancy, with close to half of the residents in their homes for over 10 years.
Beach 21st Street
The Community Builders (TCB) | Queens, NY
$500,000 predevelopment loan, 224 affordable housing units
TCB returned to Leviticus for a second loan on this mixed-use residential and commercial project, which is an anchor in a master revitalization plan for downtown Far Rockaway. Leviticus’ loan covered additional predevelopment costs largely tied to environmental cleanup of underground contaminants from prior commercial uses at the site.
Joint Ownership Entity NYC & RiseBoro
Brooklyn, NY
$430,000 construction/permanent loan
18 housing units preserved
With this Project Start Fund loan, renovations and energy saving upgrades are underway for two 1930-era apartment buildings that provide affordable housing for low-income tenants. The upgrades will improve operational viability, while maintaining affordability for these Bushwick tenants in one of New York’s fastest gentrifying neighborhoods.
Kirkland Hotel
RUPCO, Inc. | Kingston, NY
$680,000 permanent loan, 8 housing units and nonprofit offices supported
This is Leviticus’ third loan to RUPCO, a recognized community development leader in New York’s Hudson Valley with expertise in historic building restoration. Our loan refinanced existing debt on the historic Kirkland Hotel, a mixed-use building providing office space for RUPCO and another nonprofit, plus eight apartments that include affordable units.
811 Lexington Avenue
IMPACCT Brooklyn | Brooklyn, NY
$300,000 predevelopment loan, 63 affordable senior housing units
This is our second Project Start Fund loan for this project, which sought additional financing to cover unforeseen expenses for project design changes and environmental remediation. This senior-only development will slightly increase its units from 60 to 63 affordable studios for low- and very low-income seniors, including those at risk of homelessness.
