Churchill Stateside Group Provides $11,000,000 Tax-Exempt Construction Loan for Adaptive Re-Use of Historic Building for Senior Housing Development in New Orleans, LA

CLEARWATER, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Churchill Stateside Group, LLC (“CSG”), a real estate and renewable energy financial services company, is pleased to announce the closing of an $11,000,000 Tax-Exempt Construction Loan to finance Canal Crossing, a 49-unit affordable Low Income Housing Tax Credit senior housing development located in New Orleans, Louisiana.

The project involves the adaptive re-use of a historic building, blending affordable housing development with architectural preservation in the heart of New Orleans. Once completed, the property will offer high-quality, income-restricted housing for seniors, addressing a critical need in a city that faces a shortage of affordable rental housing.

All 49 units at Canal Crossing will be income-restricted, serving a range of affordability levels:

• 3 units at 30% of Area Median Income (AMI)
• 8 units at 50% AMI
• 24 units at 60% AMI
• 14 units at 70% AMI

Located in a highly accessible area, Canal Crossing is within close proximity to shopping, public transit, employment opportunities, and essential community services, ensuring that residents not only have a place to live, but also access to the resources needed to thrive.

The financing was provided through Churchill Mortgage Construction LLC (“CMI”) utilizing its Private Tax-Exempt Construction Loan structure, a financing solution tailored to support complex affordable housing developments, particularly those involving low income housing and historic tax credits.

Dan Duda, Executive Vice President, National Director of Originations & Acquisitions for CSG, commented, "We are proud to support Canal Crossing, a development that revitalizes a historic property while providing much-needed affordable housing for seniors in New Orleans.
