CLEVELAND, August 16, 2018 /3BL Media/ — KeyBank Community Development Lending and Investment (CDLI) has provided $38.4 million in total financing for the construction of Del Valle Apartments in Austin, TX. The CDLI team provided a $9 million equity bridge loan, with a $29.4 million Freddie Mac Tax Exempt Loan (TEL) Forward Commitment component arranged by Key’s Commercial Mortgage Group.

The fixed-rate Freddie Mac TEL financing was arranged with a three-year forward commitment with one, six-month extension. Upon conversion, the permanent loan term will have a 15-year term with a 35-year amortization schedule.

The 302-unit, affordable housing property will be comprised of 11, three-story walk-up apartment buildings. There will be 286 units set aside for residents earning at or below 60% area median income (AMI), seven units set aside for households earning 40% AMI and nine units set aside for households earning 30% AMI. The development of the property will help address the critical need for affordable housing in Austin.
