Constructed in the early 1990s, CIS recently acquired the community of one-bedroom homes and extended the deed restriction to preserve the affordability for 30 years, enabling the rent to stay low. CIS secured an allocation of 4 percent low-income housing tax credits and had a number of financial partners includ- ing Freddie Mac, the New Jersey Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency, Prudential, New Jersey Department of Community Affairs, Township of Ocean, and the County of Monmouth. “We are pleased to reintro- duce Heritage Village at Ocean as a high-quality, affordable rental option for seniors,” said Christiana Foglio, CIS founder and CEO. “Ocean Township was hit hard during Hurri- cane Sandy, so restoring and renovating these apartments NEWARK, NJ — Tucker Development , a leader in the development of retail centers and mixed-use proper- ties, has delivered occupancy of 24 Jones, an apartment complex located adjacent to the new Springfield Avenue Marketplace in the Univer- sity Heights neighborhood of Newark.

With more than 375,000 residents within three miles of the site -- along with several universities in the immediate vicinity -- Springfield Avenue Marketplace provides seam- less access to the area’s many surrounding destinations. n
