The project is expecting to achieve LEED Platinum certification when solar installations are finished on the rooftops, after an unexpected delay.
Marty Moran and Christian Hume were up on the roof yesterday going over some last-minute details for rooftop gardening areas and for an outdoor recreation and barbecue area. Nice view!
Designed by Perlman Architects and built by Ryan Construction Company, extensive and highly visible-to-inspire public art components by local and internationally-recognized artist Zarco Guerrero are utilized up-and-down on the interior stairways and entryways to both buildings.
Both properties of El Rancho Phase I and El Rancho Phase II are manger by Celtic Property Management. Both are 100% occupied with waiting lists for attainable/affordable housing here in Mesa.
The project was partially financed by the sale of 9% LIHTC awarded by the Arizona Department of Housing. The tax credit investor is Alliant Capital.
A construction and permanent loan from Chase Bank, HOME and Housing Trust Funds from ADOH, a HOME loan from the City Of Mesa, and a acquisition/pre-development loan from Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC) financed the remaining project costs.
