Three owners of affordable housing in gateway cities have used Fannie Mae loans from MHP to ensure their affordability for years to come. In Springfield, MHP made a $2 million Fannie Mae loan to Garden Park Management to ensure the long-term affordability of Bel-Air Homes.

Constructed in 1979 and located in the north end of Springfield, Bel-Air consists of 20 duplex buildings offering 20 three-bedroom and 20 four-bedroom homes for families, along with 80 off-street parking spaces.
MHP’s long-term, fixed-rate, low-interest loan will enable Garden Park Management to buy out its original partners and reorganize ownership under a single entity that will be positioned to preserve and maintain the property as affordable housing for families for years to come.
In New Bedford, Trinity Financial’ s efforts to revitalize Regency Tower continued this past year as MHP closed on an $8.5 million Fannie Mae loan. This enabled the developer to refinance 96 market-rate and workforce rental apartments with longer-term, fixed-rate financing.
Trinity’s involvement in downtown New Bedford’s tallest building dates back 10 years when it stepped forward and purchased the 14-story building, which was on the brink of foreclosure and in need of repairs. Working with the city, Trinity used a blend of public and private financing to rehabilitate the property into 96-mixed-income apartments and 33 affordable apartments for households at or below 50 percent of area median income.
In Everett, MHP has committed $6.1 million in Fannie Mae financing to WinnDevelopment for the refinancing of Parkway Heights. The refinancing ensures the affordability of 47 apartments in the 74-unit, seven-story mixed-income building.
