Seabrook Square Marks NHPF's First project in Austin

NEW YORK, Jan. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- NHPF, a national not-for-profit provider of quality affordable housing, broke ground this week on Seabrook Square, 204 new rental apartment homes available to households earning at or below 60% of the Area Median Income (AMI) in East Austin, TX. This significant event marks a crucial step towards addressing the region's housing needs and fostering economic diversity within the community.
In collaboration with AHFC and local developer Capital A Housing, NHPF closed on $74.5 million in construction financing for Seabrook Square. This project signifies NHPF's inaugural venture into Austin, showcasing a commitment to partnering with local organizations to deliver much-needed affordable housing.
The event featured remarks from local elected officials and others including Councilmember Natasha Harper-Madison's Chief of Staff Sharon Mays. Noting the significance of the development being built in a neighborhood steeped in cultural history, Mays said, "Seabrook Square will offer inclusive opportunities for not only affordable housing but also expansion for small business and allowing a home for creative and artistic endeavors to flourish."
Of the 204 new rental apartment homes, ten live-work units will be made available to income-qualified Austin artists, chosen by SixSquare, the East Austin cultural district partner of Seabrook Square.

Seabrook Square is financed through a diverse funding structure, including a $40 million tax-exempt bond issued by the City of Austin, $3.4 million Citibank construction bridge debt, $32.3 million in 4% LIHTC Equity syndicated by Boston Financial, and $13.5 million in Austin Housing Finance Corporation subordinate debt financing.
"Partnering with local organizations to complement strengths in the service of bringing much-needed affordable housing to Austin residents is a crucial step in the effort to fill the region's housing needs," Robert Jefferson, Senior Development Director at NHPF, adding that Seabrook is an ideal example of what happens when local market expertise and affordable housing experience combine.
On-site amenities comprise parking spaces, approximately 3,000 square feet of commercial space housing Raasin in the Sun (artist incubator) and Origin Studio House (a black-owned café), a large public plaza, live/work units, locally curated murals, passive/active recreation spaces, and a community center for residents.
"In a market like Austin where everyone is desperate for housing, it is relatively easy to just throw up a generic apartment building, call it Low Income Housing and you'll be fine," Conor Kenny, Principal, Capital A Housing, "Seabrook Square will be so much more - everything from the landscaping to the cafe to the live-work spaces are going to be a symbol of what everyone on this team is committed to doing for our community."
The development in the East MLK neighborhood aims to provide maximum affordability for both residents and local businesses, fostering an inclusive community that supports the health and well-being of the J.J. Seabrook community.

Conor Kenny, Principal, Capital A Housing, "Seabrook Square will be so much more - everything from the landscaping to the cafe to the live-work spaces are going to be a symbol of what everyone on this team is committed to doing for our community."
