Program Deliverable Updates

Line of Credit Strategic Property Acquisition II 0 McDonough Blvd  Background: The MALB utilized the HOB $6 million Line of Credit to purchase a 5.28-acre parcel on McDonough Boulevard in the Thomasville Heights neighborhood for $1.4 million in October 2024.  The MALB, in conjunction with the City of Atlanta, negotiated and executed terms to enter into an option for a 65-year ground lease agreement with Wendover Group, a developer, via the Asbury Pointe LP entity (Asbury). This marked the first time that the MALB has done a transaction with a ground lease structure. The option is contingent on Asbury receiving a 4% Low Income Housing Tax Credit award from the Georgia Department of Community Affairs for the project. Award announcements are expected in February 2025.

 The location is one of the priority neighborhoods of Mayor Dickens Administration. It is adjacent to an Atlanta Housing development.
