“LAC’s investment in downtown Reno will add hundreds of units of sustainable, affordable housing for families and individuals who face elevated housing costs in their community,” said LAC Senior Associate Brian Moloney. “We’re grateful to our financing partners and the state and local leaders who helped make Pinyon Apartments a reality.”
Pinyon Apartments was financed through a combination of Tax Exempt Bonds, 4 percent Low Income Housing Tax Credits (“LIHTC”) and State Tax Credits from the Nevada Housing Division. The LIHTCs were bought by the National Equity Fund, and the State Tax Credits were syndicated by Stonehenge. Additional financing included construction and permanent loans from Citibank, HOME Funds from the Washoe County HOME Consortium, and a gap loan from the Home Means Nevada Initiative, which was serviced by the Nevada Housing Division and allowed this project to become a reality.
