The Belmont portfolio consists of Irvine Turner and Center City Apartments, six buildings in Newark, NJ, totaling 142 family units, 100% of which are Section 8. NHPF acquired the portfolio via financing including an FHA 223f loan (placed by Orix/Red) and equity from NHPF (81%) and Ed Poteat (19%). The buildings were originally built in the early 1900s, significantly renovated in the early 1980s, and include three underutilized parking lots. These assets are currently in significant disrepair.
