Boston Capital Finance Closes Construction Loan

BOSTON, MA - Boston Capital Finance (BCF) announces the closing of a 24-month construction loan for Ardsley Commons, an affordable community for seniors in Locust, North Carolina. The loan closed into the Boston Capital Intermediate Term Income Fund, a fixed-rate, construction financing fund.
 
"We are pleased to provide a seamless process to our developer partners as both debt and equity are underwritten, closed and serviced at Boston Capital," stated Kevin P. Costello, Executive Vice President and Director of Institutional Investing at Boston Capital.  "The property's amenity package, convenient location and dedication to seniors in an area lacking in affordable senior housing will contribute to its appeal in its marketplace."

Boston Capital's investment in Ardsley Commons adds 36 units of affordable housing to its apartment portfolio.  The construction of this property will generate nearly $3.5 million in local income and create approximately 52 jobs in the Locust area.  To date, Boston Capital has invested in nearly 5,000 units of affordable housing in North Carolina.
 
Located 25 miles east of Charlotte, the 36-unit apartment community for seniors will feature one three-story elevator building, comprised of 32 one-bedroom and four two-bedroom units.  Units will feature central air, dishwashers, washer/dryer hook-ups and walk-in closets.  The development will include a storage area and laundry on each floor, a 4,800 square foot community room featuring a computer center and fitness area and outside sitting areas including a picnic area with tables and grills.
 
Ardsley Commons is located within walking distance of medical offices, a pharmacy, banks, library, restaurants and other merchants located in the Locust Town Centre.  Units will be available to seniors earning 40, 50 and 60 percent of the Area Median Income (AMI).
