Site Description

Total Site Acreage: 2.02 Total Buildable Acreage: 2.02


If buildable acreage is less than total acreage, please explain:

Identify utilities and services currently available (and with adequate capacity) for this site:

Storm Sewer Water Sanitary Sewer Electric

Is the demolition of any buildings required or planned? Yes


If yes, please describe:
Although no wholesale demolition of a building will take place, modifications to the exterior will be
necessary when the addition is constructed. The property is currently in deteriorating condition and in need
of immediate repair. The proposed rehabilitation would address the physical needs of the property to bring it
up to today's standards and address the obsolesence of the units by enlarging the units and providing new
finishes throughout the units to meet todays design standards and aesthetics.

Are existing buildings on the site currently occupied? Yes


If yes:
(a) Briefly describe the situation:
The property consists of 37 units with 100% PBRA. As negotiations progress with existing partners to rehab
this property, it may be necessary to reduce the number of PBRA units but in no event will it be less than
30% of the total units. 29 of them are currently occupied. We will make every effort to minimize any
inconvenience to the residents during the construction and rehabilitation phase. Our plan would be to
complete the new construction portion of the building first which will create 9 new units. Tenants will be
relocated within the building as the project progresses and moved to the new units or within the existing
building on floors where work is not being conducted. In the event that relocation off-site should be required,
the necessary funds have been budgeted and the relocation process will be done in accordance with the
Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970, as revised in 49 C.F.R.
Part 24.

(b) Will tenant displacement be temporary? Yes


(c) Will tenant displacement be permanent? No

Market Study Information


Please provide a detailed description of the proposed project:
The property consists of a 5 story masonry building located at the corner of Rankin and 11th Street. In the
1980's, as an adaptive re-use project, it was converted into 37 affordable apartments. By today's standards
the units are small and the building features, unit amenities, and major system are reaching obsolesence.
We propose to maintain the 37 units and bring them to current standards by reducing the number of units in
the existing building through rehabilitation into 28 more spacious units and incorporating a newly
constructed three-story addition with 9 units. All 37 units would include new interior finishes throughout
including flooring, cabinetry, Energy Star appliances, doors and hardware. Plumbing upgrades will include
all new fixtures, showers, commodes and vanities. New HVAC's will be installed, updated electrical as
needed in the existing portion of the building. New electric water heaters will be installed. A new roof on the
existing building will be installed. New landscaping will be installed as well as site amenities including new
lighting, a covered picnic area with grilling area, new perimeter fencing and a covered drop-off area and
new entrance to the building.

Construction (check all that apply):

Brick Vinyl Wood HardiPlank Balconies/Patios Sunrooms Front Porches

James A. Walker Apartments, Wilmington, NC
Cashie Apartments - Windsor, NC

Site Amenities:
New site amenities will include new perimeter fencing, a new entrance and covered drop-off area to access
the property, new covered picnic area with grill, new exterior lighting and new walkways and revised parking
areas to meet necessary requirements of NCHFA and the City of Wilmington. Improved amenities will
include an upfitted community room, a technology learning center and an improved and consolidated
laundry area.

Onsite Activities:
On-site activities currently include: weekly food distribution from a local organization, monthly church
services, and monthly newsletter. The improvements to the project will include the addition of a community
space and a technology learning center. This will allow us to increase on-site activities to include: computer
classes, a resident's association, adult education programs, monthly social events such as game nights,
holiday events and cookouts.
