Report
Summary
Background: On March 17, 2021, the City Council adopted Resolution 21905 granting approval of the proceedings under which the Phoenix IDA had resolved to issue up to $48,000,000 of Multifamily Housing Revenue Notes (the “Revenue Notes”) as required by A.R.S. 35-721(B). Resolution 21905 also approved the plan of financing for the project and the issuance of the Revenue Bonds following a public hearing as required by Section 147 (f) of the Code. The Revenue Notes were originally issued on June 16, 2021 and the proceeds from the sale of the Revenue Notes were used by Mesquite Terrace Apartments, LLC (the “Borrower”), an Arizona limited liability company, to:

Finance and/or refinance, as applicable, the acquisition, construction, development, improvement, equipping and/or operation of a multifamily residential rental housing project comprised of approximately 297 units in Phoenix, Arizona,
Fund any required reserve funds,
Pay capitalized interest on the Revenue Notes, if any, and
Pay certain costs related to the issuance of the Revenue Notes.

For purposes of providing the previous approval required by A.R.S. 35-721(B) and Section 147(f) of the Code, the City Council adopted Resolution 21905 on March 17, 2021. As noted above, the Section 147(f) approval previously granted pursuant to Resolution 21905 has expired.
