MILWAUKEE, Wis. – October 28, 2021 – Associated Bank announced completion of a $16.9 million financing package for Gorman and Company, LLC and Impact Seven for the construction of Landsby Ridge, a new 51-unit, multi-family housing project located at 400 West Garfield Street in downtown Mount Horeb, Wisconsin.

 

Associated Bank provided a total of $9,217,800 in loan proceeds and Associated Community Development provided Federal Low Income Tax Credit (LIHTC) equity of $7,029,296. Associated Bank also sponsored a $690,000 Affordable Housing Project (AHP) grant from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago. Royal Bank of Canada is the tax credit syndicator for the project. Construction is now underway with completion anticipated in the third quarter of 2022.

 

The project will include 46 units affordable by families earning 30 to 60 percent of the Area Median Income (AMI) and five units that will be rented at market rates. The unit mix will include one-, two- and three-bedroom units. Eleven apartments will be supportive housing units at 30-percent AMI, making them affordable by very low-income families. Supportive services for these 11 units will be provided by Lutheran Social Services and Impact Seven.

 

Gorman and Company will serve as the co-developer, general contractor and property manager.
