Kaleida Health/Millard Fillmore Gates Circle Hospital Reuse Today in the final stages of a $100 million plus redevelopment, Collegiate Village, which houses students from 10 area institutions, is possibly the largest regional student living community in the country. The Gardens, which has received an historic designation, will soon begin renovation for families. This development has had a dramatic effect on its surrounding neighborhood. Previous to our redevelopment, home prices had fallen to where many homeowners had lost all of their equity. Since then, prices have rebounded and people are investing in their homes, contributing to a community revitalization. At least two area colleges have significant increases in their enrollment as a result of Collegiate Village. Collegiate Village has given over 100 scholarships of more than $1,000 each. We have also acquired, helped renovate and donated a house to the University District Community Development Housing Association. That house, which had been boarded up and used by a gang, has now become a new home. We are working with them on additional houses as well. Another large scale revitalization project is the former English Village, in Greece N.Y. Now called Orchard Place, this award winning redevelopment, had been an extremely troubled project. English Village had a history of having over thirteen hundred, 911 calls per year. Parents were afraid to let their children outside. We did a major rehabilitation ($44 million) turned the property around and today the 911 calls are practically nil. There is a peaceful feeling today at the property. It is 96% occupied and the entire neighborhood has benefited greatly. What is particularly relevant here is the way we financed the project. We were the first developers in upstate to do a “decoupling”. This is the splitting of a subsidy, which when combined with tax credits and multiple layers of tax exempt bonds and equity pieces, created a way to preserve and save this property. This involved working with multiple agencies at the Local, State and Federal levels and managing all of the various regulatory agreements, as well as complying with State and Federal tax laws. This is a complex process which we have done successfully for a number of projects. Many of these same financing techniques could be used in this redevelopment. Steven Weiss, who is a nationally recognized expert in these types of financing techniques works closely with us and is part of our team. Our experience is diverse, which gives us a unique “set of tools” and depth which is critical in a development of this kind and scale. Also, unlike many real estate companies today, we typically fund our own deals internally. This gives us an advantage in being flexible as well as being able to respond quickly as situations and opportunities arise.
