With rents ranging from $401 to $1,443 per month, Max’s Landing’s 76 apartments leased up well before the property officially opened

Housing Trust Group (HTG), one of the nation’s leading developers of affordable housing, announces the grand opening of Max’s Landing Apartments, a 76-unit affordable apartment community located in the West Kendall area of Miami, Florida. Apartments at the new $25 million, garden-style community are reserved for residents earning between 30 and 80 percent of area median income, with monthly rent for qualifying residents ranging from $401 to $1,443. The property, which broke ground in February 2020, and began leasing earlier this year is already 100 percent occupied – indicative of the level of demand for affordable housing in Miami-Dade County.

A grand opening ceremony was held on October 8^th , 2021 at the property.

“Max’s Landing is evidence of the tremendous need for more affordable housing in Miami,” said Matthew A. Rieger, President and CEO of Housing Trust Group. “It’s essential that we make housing more attainable for those who hold jobs that our society deems necessary, but who don’t earn high salaries – such as teachers, restaurant workers, and first responders. Safe, clean and affordable housing is critical to the overall health of our community, and our economy, and we applaud Miami-Dade County for recognizing the need for more affordable apartments in the fast-growing Kendall suburb of Miami-Dade.” 

Located at 8905 SW 169^th Court, Max’s Landing Apartments is a three-story building with an elevator and 11,388 square feet of retail space on the ground floor, and residential units on the second and third floors. It consists of 56 one-bedroom, one-bath units, and 20 two-bedroom, two-bath units, ranging in size from 688 square feet to 1,108 square feet. Units will have washer/dryer hook-ups, full-size Energy-Star® appliances, wide plank flooring, and balconies. Community amenities include a clubroom with a kitchen and lounge seating, fitness center, business/computer room, a community garden with seating, smart storage lockers, electric car charging stations, bicycle racks and several activity areas.

Financing sources for Max’s Landing Apartments was provided through $14.49 million in 9 percent Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) equity provided by City Real Estate Advisors; a $5.5 million loan from KeyBank, and $1.6 million in soft financing from Miami-Dade County. HTG purchased the 2.7-acre site in March of 2019.

The building and design team for Max’s Landing Apartments is Modis Architects, HSQ Engineers and Gomez Construction Company.

Rieger, President and CEO of HTG. “We’re delighted to make our entry into the Fort Worth market with Park Tower, which will provide safe and affordable housing to Fort Worth residents who are otherwise priced out of this growing community.”

Housing Trust Group (HTG), one of the largest developers of affordable housing in the United States, is ramping up its development activities in several new states to help meet the overwhelming demand for affordable housing in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. 

To accelerate HTG’s growth, the company has restructured and appointed HTG executives to oversee pipeline growth and development activities in four territories: the Gulf Region (including Florida, Puerto Rico and Alabama), Atlantic Region (including Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina), Midwest Region (including Illinois and Missouri), and Southwest Region (including Texas, Colorado and Arizona). The combined target states are responsible for administering over $608 million in 9 percent Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) each year.  

“The pandemic has exacerbated demand for affordable housing across the country so there is a tremendous need for firms like HTG with a proven track record to deliver affordable developments. We have been putting boots on the ground in local markets around the country to address each community’s unique needs,” said Matthew A. Rieger, HTG President and CEO. “HTG has excelled for over a decade as an award-winning affordable developer in Florida, and we’re excited to be able to deliver this expertise to more state and community leaders who want to tackle the housing crisis head-on using the most prudent, fiscally responsible strategies possible.”  

Housing industry experts are optimistic that Congress will allocate more resources to affordable housing development in the year ahead, including potentially expanding the federal tax credit program, which gives financial incentives to private sector firms who invest in underwriting a portion of affordable housing.

 “The housing crisis is a problem so large and universal that it is beyond the ability of any single municipality or state to address,” said Rieger. “Fortunately, the federal tax credit program has enjoyed broad bipartisan support from democrats to republicans alike since its inception over 35 years ago.”

In 2021, HTG will submit proposals and applications for tax credit-funded affordable development opportunities in Texas, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Colorado and Illinois. By 2025, the company intends to expand its footprint even further with development activity in Alabama, Puerto Rico, Tennessee, Nevada, Utah, Michigan and Indiana.

The reduced rents, made possible through the use of the federal LIHTC program and Florida Housing SAIL program will vary depending on each eligible resident’s income.
