Cincinnati Development Fund

This project epitomizes the importance of partnership and patience in real estate development. QCE Development is bringing South Fairmount's St. Leo the Great School building back to life and turning it into 25 apartments for residents age 55 and older earning no more than 60% of the area median income. CDF was pleased to provide financing in multiple forms, including a traditional mortgage loan and a Historic Tax Credit Bridge loan. We also directed City Of Cincinnati Affordable Housing Trust Fund and City ARPA funds to the project.

This Cincinnati Business Courier article says the developers "want to continue their partnerships with CDF and the city--partnerships that fell into place in the years after founding QCE Development and motivated the pair to evolve their business model with each successive project." This is a great example of how we're working to align financing tools to help accelerate affordable housing development. When we build the tools and focus on a shared outcome, we can achieve a great deal. With a common vision, our neighbors will have greater access to high-quality, safe and affordable housing. That's the goal.
