CB3 has acquired Berkeley Terrace Apartments (Berke- ley Terrace); a two story, 152- unit garden style, Sec- tion 8 property situated on 5.73 acres in Irvington. The purchase and financing of Berkeley Terrace was made possible using Tax Exempt Bonds and Low-Income Hous- ing Tax Credits, which will permit CB3 to implement an extensive renovation of the property, breathing new life into an asset that had received a failing score under HUD’s Real Estate Assess- ment (“REAC”) score. “Prior to joining Candle- brook, I specialized in rehabili- tation projects, specifically in the use of tax incentives and government subsidies in con- nection with the rehabilitation and new construction of afford- able and workforce housing properties,” said Josh Levy , managing director of Candle- brook Properties, “Leading Candlebrook into new terri- tory under CB3, I’m confident we will produce affordable housing that serves the com- munity through its amenities, attention to detail, and overall quality of life that it offers.” Candlebrook utilized Tax- Exempt Bonds issued by New Jersey Housing Mortgage Finance Agency (NJHMFA) and Low-Income Housing Tax Credits to purchase the prop- erty which provides essential affordable housing in Essex County, NJ to families at or below 60 percent of the area median income. Financing was made possible by R4 Capi- tal Funding who purchased $16.3 million in Tax Exempt Bonds and $8,058,250 in tax credit equity provided by Al- liant Capital through their purchase of the Low-Income
