L+M Converts Queens Affordable to Permanent Financing

L+M Development Partners converted Beach Green Dunes II, a mixed-use residential development in the Edgemere neighborhood of Queens, to permanent financing. The eight-story, 100% affordable mixed-use project opened in November 2019 and features 127 rental units.

The project was L+M’s first building designed and built to Passive House standards. The total development cost for Beach Green Dunes II was approximately $53.8 million

The permanent financing was accomplished through $13,938,025 in tax credit equity provided by Red Stone Equity Partners and an additional $940,000 in New York City Housing Development Corporation subsidies.

“This building combines first class apartments with environmentally-conscious development standards, helping to preserve affordability in New York City while also contributing to a more resilient coastline,” said L+M’s Sara Levenson. “Beach Green Dunes II is a wonderful addition to the Edgemere community and a model of the type of innovative, green housing that can be built in our city.”
