Dominium, a leading affordable housing owner, developer and manager announced the re-syndication of Aria Landings, a 320-unit family property in Fort Myers, Florida.
Dominium will renew the property’s affordable housing status while beginning an $11 million rehabilitation of the property. Aria Landings will undergo an extensive remodel of the existing clubhouse and site amenities, including upgrades to the fitness center, outdoor amenities, landscaping, unit interiors, building exteriors and more.
Re-syndication of Aria Landings is supported by the Section 42 Low-Income Housing Tax Credit program (LIHTC). Nationwide, LIHTC is the largest source of support for the construction and maintenance of affordable housing communities. In exchange for tax credits, affordable housing developers and operators agree to maintain rents at levels tied to the Area Median Income (AMI). Construction of LIHTC properties has a positive effect on the local housing market by increasing the supply of affordable housing.
