KeyBank Community Development Lending & Investment provided financing for the tax credit resyndication of Hampton Point, a 284-unit, family affordable project in Punta Gorda, FL. All 284 units are set aside for individuals and families earning no more than 35%-60% of the Area Median Income (AMI), including seniors.

The garden-style community project houses 16 two- and three-story buildings, on extensive grounds of 48 acres. Planned rehabilitation includes the purchase and installation of solar panels which will greatly reduce the property’s electricity use. The tenant-in-place rehab will also provide updated buildings and interior units with competitive amenities including on-site management, a community room, playground, volleyball courts, fitness center, business center, and swimming pool.
