Silos Apartments

Overview

Size $64.7 Million
Construction Loan, Permanent Loan, LIHTC Equity, & Bond Underwriting

Summary

KeyBank Community Development Lending and Investment (CDLI) provided $16.6 million in Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) equity (state and federal), a $21.3 million construction loan, and $6.3 million taxable equity bridge for the construction of Silos Apartments, a new affordable housing high-rise building in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Silos is also a 180-unit tax-exempt bond project with 4% Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) integrated into the master-planned 8.5-acre Silos development at Salt Lake City’s entrance from Highway I-15.

KeyBank’s Commercial Mortgage Group originated a $20.5 million privately placed forward committed rate locked permanent loan. KeyBanc Capital Markets also secured and sold $21.3 million in Utah Housing Corporation Multifamily Housing Revenue Bonds for the transaction.

The sponsor for the project, Blaser Ventures (fka BCG Affordable Residential Communities), is an affordable housing developer based in Salt Lake City.

Silos Apartments will provide 180 apartments consisting of 60 studio units, 100 one-bedroom units, and 20 two-bedroom units for individuals and families earning no more than 60% of the area median income (AMI). The development will also include a separate garage financed by the Catalyst Opportunity Fund. This project is the first phase in a larger master mixed-use development.

Silos development is in the Granary District, one of the oldest  mixed-use neighborhoods with shopping and recreational amenities within walking distance.  

“In addition to becoming one of the city’s most vibrant neighborhoods, the Granary District will also help to address the substantial need for affordable housing in Utah,” said Robert Likes, president of KeyBank Community Development Lending and Investment (CDLI). “KeyBank is invested in the expansion of its community impact, and we continue to provide more capital to low-income communities throughout the country.”

Kortney Brown and Jeremiah Drake of KeyBank CDLI structured the financing for the transaction. Hector Zuniga of KeyBank Commercial Mortgage Group facilitated the permanent loan placement and Sam Adams of KeyBanc Capital Markets underwrote the tax-exempt bonds.
