El Camino Commons

Overview

Size $74.8 Million
Construction Loan & LIHTC Equity

Summary

KeyBank Community Development Lending and Investment (CDLI) provided a $32 million tax-exempt construction loan and a $15 million taxable construction loan to finance the new construction of El Camino Commons, an affordable multifamily housing property in Oceanside, California. The $27.8 million permanent loan will be privately placed with one of KeyBank Commercial Mortgage Group’s (CMG) institutional investors. 

El Camino Real Apartments will be a four-story residential building with 111 units consisting of two and three-bedroom apartments for families earning between 30% and 80% of area median income (AMI). The property will include a leasing office and a community area within a 6,500 square foot common space, including outdoor recreational space and central laundry rooms on each floor. Supportive Services will be provided by Mission Neighborhood Centers (MNC), which offers educational programs, workforce development, homelessness prevention, and social services.

The sponsor, Mirka Investment, is a real estate development firm known for its high-quality affordable multifamily rental communities as well as their assistance of underserved and diverse portions of the population, including financially struggling families, veterans, seniors, formerly homeless, and developmentally disabled individuals.

The project secured an additional $32 million construction loan from the California Municipal Finance Authority through a Multifamily Housing Private Activity Bond issuance, $12.9 million in certificated credits from the City of Oceanside State Housing Tax Credit program via Monarch Private Capital, and $16 million in Federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) equity from WNC.

El Camino Real Apartments will be located in Oceanside, California, just north of Carlsbad. The development benefits from excellent transportation access and proximity to essential community amenities, including quality schools and supportive services.

Matthew Haas of KeyBank CDLI’s Western Regional team structured the financing. Hector Zuniga of KeyBank CMG arranged the permanent financing.
