The CDLI team provided a two-year, $18.5 million construction loan with a six-month extension that will convert to a 15-year, $12.3 million tax-exempt permanent loan to support the rehabilitation of Cavalier Court Apartments. Additionally, the CDLI team provided a two-year, $17.4 million construction loan convertible to a 15-year, $10 million tax-exempt permanent loan for the rehabilitation of Gospel Gardens.

The construction loans for both properties will utilize proceeds of tax-exempt Multifamily Revenue Bonds issued by The Health, Education and Housing Facility Board of the City of Memphis and 4% Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) equity provided by WNC, a provider of investment, asset management and development services.
