Newport at Amphi

Project Overview

Newport at Amphi, which was awarded a reservation of 2019 Low Income Housing Tax Credits by the Arizona Department of Housing, is a 40-unit family project in Tucson, AZ. It will offer 1-, 2-, and 3-bedroom apartments in two three-story buildings on a 1.5-acre site in north-central Tucson on the northwest corner of two major streets, N. Stone Avenue and W. Prince Road.

The apartment design and amenities are particularly designed for households with children. The units are large, allowing for a full range of family activities and living space. Both 2- and 3-bedroom apartments have two full baths, and units will be equipped with washers and dryers. Community amenities include a playground, a teen activity room that can be used for group activities and study sessions, and a separate computer lab.

As a result of the development, several vacant and obsolete structures, including the shell of a former Tucson Electric Power substation, will be demolished and this prominent corner will be returned to productive use. This corner is served by three high-frequency bus lines and is within walking distance of three public schools and a federally-qualified health center.

A majority of the units will be affordable to households with no more than 50% of the area median income for Pima County, AZ, and ten will be targeted to households with no more than 30% of AMI; this is made possible through project-based rental assistance provided by the City of Tucson’s Housing & Community Development Department.

Project Overview

Located at 3700 N. Sutter Street, Stockton, CA, Casa Mañana Inn Apartments (“Casa Mañana”) is an existing 163-unit income-restricted senior apartment community. Originally built in 1960 as a hospital, the subject property was later repositioned in 1964 into a multifamily asset serving low-income seniors 62 years and older. Casa Mañana consists of one building ranging from two to four stories, and is serviced by an elevator and several interior stairways. The unit mix consists of 137 studios, 25 one-bedroom units, and one two-bedroom manager’s unit. There are 64 surface parking spaces.

Unit amenities include central heat and air and a full kitchen with white electric range/oven appliances and refrigerators. Community amenities include two large community/recreation rooms on the ground floor that host activities such as daily meal programs and resident activities. There are several interior quiet areas with common seating and restrooms. Outdoor landscaped courtyards with patio seating are located along the property’s southern and northern elevations. The property offers also a small on-site storage area, three laundry facilities, a key-card entry system, and security cameras.

Since its redevelopment in 1964, Casa Mañana has not been upgraded. In order to provide a safe living environment for current and future residents and to create a more energy efficient property, the property requires extensive capital improvements to address deferred maintenance throughout the complex. Domus Development together with Stockton YMI Elderly Housing (“SYMIEH”, current owner) will conduct significant renovations to include not only upgrading unit and community amenities to current modern and energy efficient standards, but also replacing the HVAC system, upgrading the plumbing and electrical systems, installing handicap accessibility features, replacing the asphalt pavement, driveways, sidewalks, curbs and steps, replacing the roof, unit interior doors, elevator, and partially replacing the irrigation system.
