Heritage Affordable Communities acquires Claremont Park

Bronx, NY Heritage Affordable Communities (HAC) acquired Claremont Park, a 101-unit affordable housing property.

Originally developed in 2007 through the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program, this year 15 preservation transaction ensures continued stability and long-term affordability for residents.

With critical support from NYCHPD and HDC, HAC completed the acquisition and extended the property’s 420-c Tax Abatement. All units at Claremont Park will remain restricted at 60% of Area Median Income (AMI), supporting deep affordability for low- income families.

Consistent with HAC’s mission-driven approach, 30% of the units are set aside for formerly homeless households, with HAC committing to provide on-site social services for those residents. The firm has also agreed to a defined scope of capital improvements to ensure the property remains a high-quality, sustainable home for years to come.

The property will be managed by Locust Cove Management (LCM), HAC’s in-house property management company. LCM brings a hands-on, compliance-driven approach with a focus on resident care and operational innovation — including the use of AI-powered  tools to improve service delivery.

Claremont Park is part o HAC’s growing portfolio in New York City. The firm is currently in contract to acquire 515LIHTC units citywide, advancing its commitment to preserve and strengthen affordable housing across the five boroughs.

The death of the generic offering memorandum: What buyers expect in 2025 - by Kimberly Zar Bloorian
