About The Role

POAH Communities is seeking a qualified individual to serve as Assistant Property Manager. Meadowbrook Apartments includes 252 rental homes set attractively on a 26-acre wooded site on the outskirts of Northampton, Massachusetts. As Meadowbrook neared the end of its mortgage restrictions in 2001, the owner made public his intention to convert the apartments to market rents or condominiums. POAH began working with the Meadowbrook team in 2003. As with most preservation transactions, the project's financing drew from a number of sources, including tax-exempt bonds from MassHousing, a loan from the state's Capital Improvement and Preservation Fund (CIPF), Community Development Block Grant funds from the City of Northampton, and syndication proceeds from the sale of Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC). This complex deal took nearly a year to orchestrate; POAH purchased the Meadowbrook property in December 2004.
