Funding sources will include: City of Charlotte Housing Trust Fund, Charlotte Housing Authority
MTW Funds, Tax-Exempt Bonds, Federal LIHTC, Energy Performance Lease Financing (private
lender).

Furthermore, CHA will utilizing HUD's Capital Fund Financing Program (CFFP) which will allow CHA
to borrow private capital (i.e. bond proceeds) to make improvements and pledge a portion of its
future year annual Capital Funds to make debt service payments on the bonds.

CHA will also be utilizing HUD's Energy Performance Contracting (EPC) which is an innovative
financing technique that uses cost savings from reduced energy consumption to repay the cost of
installing energy conservation measures. Normally offered by Energy Service Companies (ESCOs),
this innovative financing technique allows building users to achieve energy savings without up
front capital expenses. The costs of the energy improvements are borne by the performance
contractor and paid back out of the energy savings. Other advantages include the ability to use a
single contractor to do necessary energy audits and retrofit and to guarantee the energy savings
from a selected series of conservation measures.

Market Study Information


Please provide a detailed description of the proposed project:
Strawn Tower will be a "senior", residential rental community located in the city of Charlotte. The community
will serve senior residents at or below 30% AMI. This 170-unit community comprised of efficiency and one-
bedroom units will be contained within one high-rise building.

Construction (check all that apply):

Brick Vinyl Wood HardiPlank Balconies/Patios Sunrooms Front Porches

Front Gables or Dormers Wide Banding or Vertical/Horizontal Siding

Other:
Exterior improvements will also include new pre-finished aluminum trellis/canopies and new lantern lighting
elements above both roof stairwells.

Have you built other tax credit developments that use the same building design as this project?No
If yes, please provide name and address:

Site Amenities:
This site is well-located in two commercial and residential areas: Historic South End and Historic Dilworth.
All required amenities are located within one mile (walking distance) of the site. Strawn Tower is located
within the Historic South End which is home to over 200 design-related businesses. The neighborhood has
a more than 150 year history of design, innovation and creativity. Today, the district is in the midst of a
surge of development activity, spurred by the Charlotte Trolley, the opening of the new South Corridor Light
Rail Line and a June 2008 vote by the Charlotte City Council to expand the district. From refurbished
buildings to new loft condominiums, the face of Historic South End is rapidly changing.

On-site, ground-floor amenities include new outdoor seating areas, multi-purpose room, resident computer
center, theater room, hair salon and additional leasing/management space. The 12th floor will be entirely
converted to additional amenity space. Amenities will include: Fitness center, community room, lounge,
library, medical offices and various offices for on-site, non-profit and government social service providers.
The 12th floor will also include a new, full commercial kitchen to service the dietary needs of the seniors.

Onsite Activities:
The Charlotte Housing Authority (CHA) will provide a variety of support services appropriate for the elderly
population through CHA's "Moving Forward" program. The Moving Forward program is a federal
demonstration program that focus on service provision to promote self-sufficiency and quality of life. These
services may include Nutrition Programs (Meals on Wheels or County On-site Food Program), organized

health activities such as exercise classes, on-site healthcare and computer literacy. Other services will be
designed to address the specific, expressed needs of the senior residents.

Landscaping Plans:
This site contains mature shrubbery as well as open landscaped areas that will be improved and remain at
the site. The site will have irrigated lawns landscaped using indigenous plants and ground cover that are
low-maintenance and do not require constant watering. The landscaping maintenance plan will employ
water conservation techniques. Raised-bed community gardens are placed throughout.

Interior Apartment Amenities:


Interior apartment amenities will include:
Wall-to-wall carpeting in living and bedroom
Vinyl flooring in entry, kitchen and bathroom areas
Full kitchen with Energy Star appliances: refrigerators, oven/range, dishwasher and garbage disposal
Central air and heat
Mini-blinds

Applicant's Site Evaluation


Briefly describe your site in each of the following categories:

NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTERISTICS

Trend and direction of real estate development and area economic health. Physical condition of buildings and
improvements in the immediate vicinity. Concentration of affordable housing.
The site abuts Dilworth/South Boulevard, a major commercial and residential corridor currently experiencing
huge growth and revitalization because of its proximity to downtown Charlotte and the recently-opened light
rail line, the "LYNX" system. Two LYNX stations are located within walking distance of the Strawn Tower.

The Dilworth neighborhood has an excellent school district, vibrant commercial activity and great access to
mass transit with makes it a very desirable area. Adaptive re-use and new construction developments
(residential, commercial and mixed-use) have reshaped the fabric of the area.

The 16-acre Strawn campus which contains CHA's Corporate Office, Strawn Tower and Strawn Cottages
was the focus of a recent Urban Land Institute (ULI) Advisory Services Program Report. This detailed,
published report confirmed the intense interest by the development community and the recommendation
that the 16-acre site become "a mixed-income community with a variety of uses and housing types that
accommodate economically, socially and environmentally sustainable development."
SURROUNDING LAND USES AND AMENITIES

Land use pattern is residential in character (single and multifamily housing). Extent that the location is
isolated. Effect of industrial, large-scale institutional or other incompatible uses, including but not limited to:
wastewater treatment facilities, high traffic corridors, junkyards, prisons, landfills, large swamps, distribution
facilities, frequently used railroad tracks, power transmission lines and towers, factories or similar operations,
sources of excessive noise, and sites with environmental concerns (such as odors or pollution). Amount and
character of vacant, undeveloped land. Considerable land use diversity exists in the historic Dilworth
neighborhood. In addition to the attractive residential areas, the area also has several concentrations of
commercial and office uses, generally along the main corridors. Carolinas Medical Center is a major
institution that dominates the block between East Boulevard and Morehead Street along the Scott/Kenilworth
corridor. Medical office buildings continue to be built in the immediate area and pressure to expand into
residential areas has been strong. Future office use is primarily recommended between Euclid Avenue and
Dilworth Road East and between Lombardy Circle and Little Sugar Creek, with commercial use, mixed-use
development and multi-family development recommended between Dilworth Road East and Lombardy
Circle. These land uses support the community vision of a mixture of land uses, which provide the pedestrian
accessibility to services, workplaces and residential choices within the neighborhood. The overall Strawn
campus contains 16.67 acres in the historic Dilworth community. The campus contains three basic land uses:
a 121-unit, single-story, cottage community, the corporate office for the Charlotte Housing Authority and the
186-unit, high-rise, elderly/disabled tower. Transitioning to a lower density, single-family dwellings border the
rear of the site. High-density, mixed-use developments line both sides of the South Boulevard corrider known
as the "South End".
SITE SUITABILITY

Adequate traffic safety controls (i.e. stop lights, speed limits, turn lanes). Burden on public facilities
(particularly roads). Access to mass transit (if applicable). Visibility of buildings and/or location of project sign
(s) in relation to traffic corridors. A Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) bus stop and shelter is located 100
feet from the Strawn entrance. Signalized, traffic lights are also located at this intersection of South
Boulevard and Bland Street. There are two LYNX stations located within walking distance of the Strawn. The
Bland Street Station is located only 1,000 linear feet from Strawn.
