• Healthy Neighborhoods Equity Fund (HNEF) provides patient capital for transformative mixed-use, mixed-income real estate projects that foster walkable neighborhoods and healthier living in transitional or unproven markets.
• HNEF designed as an equity investment capturing upside, typically from sale or refinancing after 10 years; 8% target return for Fund I
• Structuring challenge to combined HNEF with NMTC: 1. HNEF return depends on selling residential units as condos after year 72. NMTC true debt test depends on holding as rental and repaying debt over 30 years3. NMTC 20% commercial revenue test on day 1 versus HNEF interest in community-serving
retail uses that take longer to arrange4. Debt forgiveness income to HNEF if an owner
Solution: HNEF split between high-interest cash-flow note direct to QALICB and junior leverage loan behind Eastern with accruing interest to soak up up-side AND master lease of commercial space by CDC sponsor backed by large reserves from multiple sources
MHIC - CLF
Legal & NMTC Challenges:
• Condominium ownership with separate LIHTC and NMTC condos
• Initial temporary structures to form Condo
• “80/20 Requirement” – 20% commercial revenue on the NMTC condo parcel. Master lease of the commercial space by Nuestra CDC
• Commercial space lease reserve for tenant improvement build out and balancing the NQFP test
• Declaration of Reciprocal Easements- shared areas and expenses
• Construction contract and allocating the development costs between the two condo ownership parcels- LIHTC cost certification
