NJHMFA joins ribbon-cutting ceremony for rehabilitated affordable apt. community BRIDGETON, NJ — A ribbon-cutting ceremony marked the completion of Ivy Square Apartments, a major rehabilitation project which overhauled a 156-apartment community affordable to fami- lies. The event was attended by NewJersey Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency (NJHMFA) executive director Charles Richman. Located on a nearly 7.5-acre site, the project, developed by WinnDevelopment , involved an acquisition and two-phase rehabilitation of the former Bridgeton Villas, an existing two-story, walk-up garden- style apartment complex of eight buildings built between 1966 and 1969. NJHMFA provided sig- nificant financing for both phases of the redevelopment. NJHMFA awarded Phase I of the project 4% Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC), which generated $6.4 million in private equity. NJHMFA also provided $9.6 million in construction and permanent financing as well as $1 million from its Special Needs Hous- ing Trust Fund, which helps create permanent supportive homes in the community for residents with special needs. Phase II was awarded very competitive 9% LIHTC, which generated $11.3 million in private equity, and NJHMFA also provided $3.1 million per- manent financing.
