Summary
KeyBank Community Development Lending and Investment (CDLI) provided a $12.5 million construction loan for the development of The Three Sisters, an affordable multifamily housing property in Las Cruces, New Mexico.
The Three Sisters apartments will consist of eight, two- and three-story residential buildings with 70 units for families and individuals earning no more than 30%, 50%, and 60% of the area median income (AMI). The apartments will have one-, two-, and three-bedroom units, and include amenities such as a community space, laundry, computer center, BBQ and picnic area, dog park, and two playgrounds.
Additional amenities at The Three Sisters apartments include comprehensive social services (such as group training, outreach, and bi-monthly health and nutrition education classes).
The sponsor, Chelsea Investment Corporation ("Chelsea"), is a prominent affordable housing developer in California and New Mexico, and as of 2022, maintains a portfolio of 89 affordable housing properties spanning both states. Chelsea’s nonprofit partner on this property is CC Housing, based in Albuquerque New Mexico.
The project received additional support from The Richmond Group, which provided $11.9 million in Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) equity, as well as a $1.9 million permanent loan from the Rocky Mountain Community Reinvestment Corporation (RMCRC). The Three Sisters also received funding from the city, state, the HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME), and the National Housing Trust Fund (HTF).
The property is within walking distance from numerous neighborhood amenities including a park, school, grocery store, and bus station.
