SEATTLE, WA, June 23, 2022 /Realty Wire/ — Security Properties is pleased to announce the acquisition of Mt. Vernon Terrace Apartments on June 21, 2022.
Built in 1973, Mt. Vernon consists of 99 units, of which 74 benefit from a property-based housing assistance payment contract administered through the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
The Security Properties’ Managing Director of Affordable Housing who led the acquisition, Bryon Gongaware, is also a former resident of this Spokane community and knows it well.
“Since childhood, it has been a personal goal of mine to own and preserve this property as affordable housing for the long-term.” Mr. Gongaware, along with his mother, were residents at the property on two separate occasions nearly 40 years ago. “As a child, this property created lifelong memories and friendships, as well as a safety net for my family,” states Mr. Gongaware, “and our expectation for the future is to enhance that opportunity for many more families in the Spokane community.”
Over the next year, residents at the property will see substantial investment in improvements by Security Properties. These include new interior finishes, exterior upgrades, resolving deferred maintenance, and installing a new leasing office and community center for the benefit of the residents. Brandon Musser, Investment Manager for Security Properties, notes, “The ownership and capitalization structure is unique for affordable housing and will allow us to execute a substantial rehab of the property, while also extending the affordability for the long-term.”
Construction will be completed by Walker Construction Inc, a Spokane-based general contractor. The property will be professionally managed by Security Properties Residential and marks its third affordable housing property in the Spokane area.
