Construction and permanent financing is provided through loans from private institutional lenders and from public sources including HPD, the New York City Housing Development Corporation, the State of New York, and the federal government.

The newly constructed buildings provide rental housing to low-income families with incomes up to 60% of the Area Median Income (“AMI”). Projects may include a tier of units with rents affordable to households earning up to 80% of AMI. Subject to project underwriting, up to 30% of the units may be rented to formerly homeless families and individuals.</p> <p> </p> <p> Under the proposed project, which consists of the Disposition Area and the two privately-owned lots located at Block 3850, Lots 5 and 10 (collectively, “Project Area”), the City will sell the Disposition Area to Van Sinderen Plaza LLC ("Sponsor") for the nominal price of one dollar per tax lot. The Sponsor will also deliver an enforcement note and mortgage for the remainder of the appraised value. The Sponsor will then construct two mixed-use residential buildings containing 129 rental dwelling units, plus one unit for a superintendent, and approximately 19,908 square feet of commercial space on the Project Area. Sponsor will also develop approximately 3,910 square feet of passive recreational open space on the Project Area that will be located on the sixth floor roof of one building and on the fourth floor roof and at the rear of the other building.</p> <p> </p> <p> The Land Debt will be repayable out of resale or refinancing profits for a period of at least thirty (30) years following completion of construction.
