6a. PILOT Agreement – Shelby House
Holladay Ventures and Evergreen Real Estate have established a limited partnership, Shelby House 1, LP, to acquire property located at 407 S. 4th St. and redevelop the existing Samaritan Recovery Center as well as construct a 195-unit affordable housing complex on the site. Shelby House 1, LP has applied for 4% Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTCs) from the Tennessee Housing Development Agency (THDA). The tax credits will result in an equity amount of $21,550,815. When completed, the project will provide an updated and modernized 75,000 square foot facility for Samaritan Recovery Center inclusive of 132 single room occupancy (SRO) units for those in treatment. Additionally, the 195-unit LIHTC-financed affordable housing component will consist of 32 studio units, 149 one-bedroom units, and 14 two-bedroom units. 100% of the units will be subject to income and rent restrictions, the average income restriction will be no greater than 60% of area median income (AMI).
Staff is recommending approval of a PILOT that would require Developer to make a total initial payment of $10,175 in lieu of property taxes after the project is placed in service. The PILOT would increase by 3% annually over the 10-year life of the agreement. This PILOT payment was based on review of the site’s projected base year taxes, development budget, operating pro forma, and debt obligations. MDHA estimates this to be a tax abatement of approximately $488,931 for the first year the property is placed in service. This would leave MDHA’s annual abatement capacity at $525,230.
