LONG BEACH, CA – WNC, a national investor in real estate and community development initiatives, announced the completion of Ramona Park Senior Apartments, a 61-unit affordable senior housing community in Long Beach, Calif.

WNC provided $6.9 million in low-income housing tax credit (LIHTC) equity to fund the project, which demolished a vacant former bank in order to develop the affordable housing.

 Located at 3290 E. Artesia Blvd., the three-story building includes 49 one-bedroom units and 11 two-bedroom units offered to seniors aged 55 and above with household incomes of up to 60 percent of the area median income. The ground floor of the structure serves as a parking garage.

 The property was developed by DL Horn & Associates LLC, in association with WCH Affordable IV LLC and PC Long Beach Developers LLC. 

 “The creative reuse of this space was a collaborative effort involving input from neighborhood community members and the City of Long Beach Planning Department,” said WNC Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Michael Gaber. “Ramona Park enhances the local area, and provides seniors with numerous recreational and unit amenities within a comfortable place to call home.”
