In 2005, designated as an 'at-risk' developer for the HPD New Foundations Program, Landair developed 33 units of affordable first time home buyer housing on scattered sites in Brooklyn, NY. Landair provided pre-development financial and economic analysis and pro forma evaluation under a variety of financing scenarios including a HUD HOME public subsidy package. Landair conducted due diligence for 700 applicants according to HPD community preferences, provided full transaction management services, assembled documentation for mortgage lenders, and handled special purchaser problems as they arose. Even as the housing market imploded real estate values across the US, Landair successfully sold all of the units to qualified purchasers as planned. Other projects were planned and/or completed in New Orleans, Detroit, and Florida.
