Details:
Sagebrush Apartments is the first newly constructed affordable living community developed in Fort Lupton in more than 15 years.
The community offers 72 apartment homes in the heart of Fort Lupton’s city center. The location, which is just over 30 minutes outside of the Denver area, is close to shopping, grocery stores, health clinics, schools, and various other amenities. The community comprises two 36-unit buildings with a total of 24 one-bedroom units, 36 two-bedroom units, and 12 three-bedroom units. The property also includes a 2,300-square-foot clubhouse and leasing center.
Sagebrush Apartments was financed by a variety of public and private funders. The development received 20 project-based vouchers from Weld County Housing Authority. The development’s special limited partner, Fort Lupton Housing Authority’s participation, assisted in obtaining a PILOT for real estate tax relief. Low-Income Housing Tax Credits were provided by the Colorado Housing Finance Authority. The tax credits were syndicated by Berkadia Affordable to the end investor, Bank of Montreal (formerly Bank of the West), who was also the construction lender. The Department of Local Affairs provided vital Housing Trust Funds. Sagebrush will also go through a permanent loan conversion using the CHFA HUD Risk Share loan program.
In addition to Michaels, the development team includes architect Kephardt and General Contractor BC Builders. The property will be managed by Michaels.
