This project is a multifamily residential complex located in Capitol Heights, a low-income neighborhood included in Prince George’s County Transforming Neighborhoods Initiative.
VNV Development (VNVD) purchased the 44-unit property in 2016. After their acquisition, almost half of the units were vacant. In order to renovate and close these vacancies, City First Enterprises provided a $440,000 subordinated loan to finance VNVD’s ongoing efforts. Each Renovated Unit includes an additional bedroom, LED Lighting, upgraded Energy-Star appliances, granite counters and water-conserving toilets and fixtures.
The renovation also includes a 250 kW solar array. This will cover all roof surfaces as well as the construction of a carport for additional solar panels and it will contribute to a significant reduction in operating expenses.
