Market Study Information


Please provide a detailed description of the proposed project:
The proposed elderly project will consist of 100 one-bedroom units in a mid-rise elevator building. The
design approach will include the following interior and exterior elements:

Comfortable, Accessible and Visitable Apartments with Good Storage and Furnishability; and

The Management Offices, Maintenance Shop, Resident Laundry Rooms, Informal Sitting Areas,
Congragate/Dining Hall with Warming Kitchen, Library, Common Lobbies per Floor will provide excellent
ability to provide residents a substantial level of service with an outstanding quality of life; and

Walking Trails, Resident Gardens, Outdoor Seating, and Picnic Area will encourage the residents
"Wellness"; and

Pedestrian links connect the site to the Center City through a network of sidewalks. The site is also a few
hundred feet from the proposed light rail system. An aerial photo located in the application package
illustrates these relationships to the proposed site; and

Site Plans, Elevations and Floor Plans included in the application package demonstrate the high quality
design included in this urban mid-rise building that blend within the context and character of the surrounding
neighborhood.

Construction (check all that apply):

Brick Vinyl Wood HardiPlank Balconies/Patios Sunrooms Front Porches

Front Gables or Dormers Wide Banding or Vertical/Horizontal Siding

Other:
See attached plans and elevations. The urban design is appropriate given the context of this urban infill site
at the edge of Charlotte's Central Business District commonly referred to as "Uptown". This prodcut will
compliment the existing 940 Brevard Senior apartments and the Historic Renovation of the Alpha Mill. Both
sites are adjacent to/across the street from the subject site.

Have you built other tax credit developments that use the same building design as this project?Yes
If yes, please provide name and address:
940 Brevard Senior Apartments is located 940 Brevard Street. 915 Caldwell is "not" a phase II of 940
Brevard. 915 Caldwell will be a stand alone project.

Site Amenities:
The proposed project will include: community space of approximately 22,759 square feet, Resident Garden
Plots, Walking Trails, Gazebo/Arbor, Picnic Area with Tables, Covered Drive Through and Drop Off at
Entry, Sitting Area, Game and Craft Room, Exercise Room, Exam Room, Library/Reading Room, Resident
Computer Room, TV Room, Vending Area and Storage Area.

Onsite Activities:
The Charlotte Housing Authority (CHA) will provide a variety of support services appropriate for the elderly
population through the CHA Moving Forward program. The Moving Forward program is a federal
demonstration program that focuses on service provision to promote self sufficiency and quality of life.
These services may include Nutrition Programs (Meals on Wheels or County On-site Food Program),
organized health activities such as exercise classes and health exams. Other services will be designed to
address expressed needs of the residents.

Landscaping Plans:
We have budgeted approxiamtely $110,000 for landscaping. Given that the site is relatively small this
budget will provide for a substantial landscaped environment. A concerted planning effort will be made to
blend the proposed site landscape with 940 Brevard and Alpha Mill by using similar plant materials and
planting patterns. This approach will establish a relationship between the properties in the newly
established neighborhood block over time as the landscapes mature over time.

Interior Apartment Amenities:


The apartments will include: Range, Hood, Dishwasher, Disposal, Refrigerator, Storage, Mini-blinds, Pantry,
Ceiling Fans, Walk-in Closets, Carpet, Vinyl, Alarm/Call System, and HVAC systems.

Do you plan to submit additional market data (market study, etc.) that you want considered? Yes
If yes, please make sure to include the additional information in your pre-application packet.

Applicant's Site Evaluation


Briefly describe your site in each of the following categories:

NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTERISTICS

Trend and direction of real estate development and area economic health. Physical condition of buildings and
improvements in the immediate vicinity. Concentration of affordable housing.
CHA is leading a major redevelopment effort in the urban area surrounding the proposed site. A 2004
HOPE VI Grant for Piedmont Courts of $20M has been utilized to recreate this neighborhood area. The
HOPE VI Grant has directly and indirectly leveraged public and private resources in excess of $100M to
transform the built environment in the area. The revitalization effort has included the development of 940
Brevard Senior Apartments; Seigle Point Apartments; Seigle Point Townhomes; The Seigle Point
Community Center; McAden Apartments; Alpha Mills Apartments; redevelopment of the City Yards;
significant investments by the City of Charlotte for planning efforts and infrastructre including an adopted
small area plan; roads, utilities, stormwater and landscaping; moving industrial uses out of the area to
create and sustain the residential character of the neighborhood.

The site is also adjacent to the First Ward Neighborhood. First ward was also a revitalization effort
spearheaded by CHA in the 1990's that resulted in one of the City's most desirable neighborhoods with a
balance of affordable and market rate housing. CHA has won four revitalization grants and one demolition
grant (First Ward, Piedmont Courts, Arbor Glen and The Park at Oaklawn as well as Belvedere,
respectively) that have transformed each of the surrounding areas significantly. The award and the
successful execution of these grants demonstrates CHA's ability to deliver on projects. They also indicate
an endorsement by HUD and the City of Charlotte of CHA's redevelopment strategies.

The development of this site will fill an urban infill site providing another piece of revitalization effort. The
site of the proposed project is located between Caldwell and Brevard Streets and bound to the south by
12th Street, just outside Charlotte's uptown at the western edge of the Belmont Neighborhood and at the
southern most edge of the Optimist Park Neighborhood. The site is across Brevard Street from the Alpha
Mill, a late 19th Century textile mill that has been redeveloped (Completed in late 2007) into class A
apartments that has reached stabilized occupancy. Immediately north accross the newly reconfigured New
Calvine Street (A $1.45M City funded project that transformed a high speed connector road into a
neighborhood street with on street parking) is the 940 Brevard Seniors Apartments. 940 Brevard, a tax
credit project, was completed in late 2008 and is fully occupied with a waiting list of 26 and growing. The
2004 market study for the 940 project indicated demand for the senior low income product and the 940
project demonstrated that demand. 940 Brevard recieved its Certificate of Occupancy in late September
2008 and reached full occupancy by mid November 2008. The senior population in Charlotte continues to
grow particulary in the lower wealth population.

An aerial photo is included in the application package and demonstrates the relationships outlined above.

SURROUNDING LAND USES AND AMENITIES

Land use pattern is residential in character (single and multifamily housing). Extent that the location is
isolated. Effect of industrial, large-scale institutional or other incompatible uses, including but not limited to:
wastewater treatment facilities, high traffic corridors, junkyards, prisons, landfills, large swamps, distribution
facilities, frequently used railroad tracks, power transmission lines and towers, factories or similar operations,
sources of excessive noise, and sites with environmental concerns (such as odors or pollution). Amount and
character of vacant, undeveloped land. The land use pattern in the area is primarily multifmaily with some
single family, office and light industrial which is consistent with an urban area and is compatible with
residential development. The site is a few blocks from the center of the Central Business District (CDB) and
the services and amenities that come with an urban CBD. A set of rail road tracks is active on the opposite
side of the block from the site which are buffered by the Alpha Mill and 940 Brevard buildings. The building,
as indicated on the provided site plan, will be located on the site at the greatest distance from the RR tracks
possible and building techniques to be used will properly insulated the building. The City's Transit facility is
located accross Caldwell Street from the site and the buses are parked on the site. The dramatic shift lower
in site elevation brings the tops of the buses level with the street grade behind a retaining wall. The subject
site is the primary undeveloped site in the immediate area. The private investment in Alpha Mill and the
occucpnacy demand at 940 Brevard indicate the strength of the site's location and desirability to all economic
ranges. The introduction of additional senior product will blend with the existing environment well. Also of

note is the many churches that are located along North Tryon and in the Belmont and Optimist PArk
Neighborhoods which tend to be of particulary interest to the senior population. The is site is within close
proxmity to many goods and services as indicated below in the neighborhood feature section including a
public health clinic at the Hal Marshall Center and Presbyterian Hosptial to name a few of interest. Also note
that both the 940 Brevard and 915 Caldwell sites include +/- 1/2 acre sites for future developement of for sale
multifamily product. The sites will allow for 30 to 60 units to be developed as one project at a later date. The
future development will be at least three stories and no more than five in scale with the surrounding area.
SITE SUITABILITY

Adequate traffic safety controls (i.e. stop lights, speed limits, turn lanes). Burden on public facilities
(particularly roads). Access to mass transit (if applicable). Visibility of buildings and/or location of project sign
(s) in relation to traffic corridors. The site is well connected to the transportation network through residential
streets, the Light Rail/Trolley (existing line three blocks away) and sidewalks as shown on the maps included
in the application package. The site is properly buffered from the 277 inner loop by 12th street and the
required set backs of the site's zoning category. However, this site will be highly visible to passing traffic
entering and exiting the uptown Central Business District and associated amenities. The project is planning
to include .5 parking spaces per unit given the elderly residents generally have fewer cars and tend to drive
less and generate less traffic and burden on the transportation network. The site will have two points of
ingress and egress both on residential oriented streets with adequate access and relatively low traffic.
Degree of on-site negative features and physical barriers that will impede project construction or adversely
affect future tenants; for example: power transmission lines and towers, flood hazards, steep slopes, large
boulders, ravines, year-round streams, wetlands, and other similar features (for adaptive re-use projects-
suitability for residential use and difficulties posed by the building(s), such as limited parking, environmental
problems or the need for excessive demolition).
The proposed site does not have any negative features that would impede development. The site does
have a change in grade dropping approximately 10-15 feet from Caldwell Street toward Brevard Street.
However, this grade change is being used to the projects advantage to create a future development site
discussed below. Parking provided will exceed the zoning requirement. The site does not have any known
environmental issues.

Similarity of scale and aesthetics/architecture between project and surroundings.


The proposed 4 story mid-rise building at 915 Caldwell will compliment the exisitng urban oriented design of
the 4 story development at 940 Brevard and Alpha Mill. The proposed development will use brick, metal and
hardiplank in a similar method to blend and contrast with the existing environment. The color palate will also
be implemented in a fashion to distinguish the proposed devlopment's identity but not clash with the
exisiting character on the neighborhood.

Other facilities or services:


The site location is a few blocks from Charlotte's Central Business District and affords the residents a full
compliment of services and entertainment opportunities. Museums, theathers, libraries, restaurants,
sporting events, concert halls and office buildings are within walkable distances from within a 1/2 mile to
about one mile. Charlotte' transportation center is about a 1/2 mile from the site offering access to the hub
of the Public Transit System. Only a site located in an expanding and vibrant urban condition offers such a
wide range of options and opportunities for services and amenities.
