Rockport Mortgage Corporation has closed a $74.5 million FHA Section 223(f) refinancing loan for Israel Senior Citizen Housing I and II, a 512-unit HUD-subsidized property for the elderly located in the Far Rockaway neighborhood of Queens, NY.
The property consists of two 17-story elevatored buildings and is owned by JASA Corporation and managed by JASA Housing Management Services for the Aged.
Israel Senior Citizen Housing I and II was constructed in 1966 and developed for elderly housing under HUD’s Section 202 Direct Loan Program.
The property had previously been refinanced under the FHA’s Section 223(f) Loan Program. The development has benefited from a total of four Project-Based Section 8 Contracts covering 481 units. An additional 30 units are rent restricted by the original HUD Section 202 Use Agreement.
