CDT Partner

Investment Description
A 246-unit rental property, the Birch Pointe Apartments complex was built in
1989 with the help of Low Income Housing Tax Credits. Just as the 15-year
affordable rent restrictions were set to expire, CDT acquired the property
to prevent its threatened conversion to market-rate.
Transaction Highlights
To gain immediate control and avoid any tax consequences for the investors,
CDT executed a two-step acquisition process. First, the general partner
interests were acquired in June 2004, allowing for a change in management
to implement a $1.5 million renovation program. The second step was to simultaneously
establish the value of the limited partners position and the option necessary
to acquire these interests at the end of the federal compliance period in
2005.
