A second parcel will comprise of 100% residential affordable housing units.

Goldstein Hall’s Role

Goldstein Hall, as part of their faith based special initiatives, successfully negotiated and crafted an affordable housing joint venture development agreement between M/WBE developers – Brisa Builders and Evergreen City – for a new project called “TLK Manor” in the Hunts Point neighborhood of the Bronx. As counsel to the Joint Venture, Goldstein Hall successfully shepherd the Joint Venture through an acquisition closing and a tax credit syndication closing. Key to the deal is the delicate balance of building a Church within an affordable housing project. TLK Manor is one of the first successful affordable housing development projects that incorporates a new church unit within the same structure
