LARIMER RECEIVES $11,531,116 IN TAX CREDITS

(Above) View of Larimer from Carver Street.

KBK Enterprises and the Urban Redevelopment

Authority of Pittsburgh are pleased to announce

that Phase 1 of the planned Larimer redevelop-

ment received a Low Income Housing Tax Credit

award from the Pennsylvania Housing Finance

Agency on Thursday March 14, 2013. This fund-

ing totaling $11,531,116 in tax credits will assist

in the development of 40 affordable homes to be

built in the Larimer community. KBK Enterpris-

es was awarded the first phase of a mixed use

plan for redevelopment in Larimer by the Urban

Redevelopment Authority in September 2011.

The project will allow for 40 affordable homes

to be built along the perimeter of the Larimer

neighborhood as a catalyst for further develop-

ment in the community. Councilman Rickey Burgess commented “I would like to thank KBK Enterprises for their patience and commitment in helping to rebuild the Larimer community. This tax credit award allows KBK to begin con-struction of the first phase in the revitalization of Larimer. Building off the strengths of East Liberty, Larimer is poised to be Pittsburgh's next great working class neighborhood." In 2010, the Larimer Consensus Group completed the Lar-imer Vision Plan, which established the frame-work for future development along the Larimer Avenue Corridor. The Vision Plan calls for a con-solidation of the residential core of the neigh-borhood, creation of a destination of parks and/or athletic fields and facilities; and fully embrac-es principles of “Green” development.

Garfield Commons Setting The Bar High By Hiring Within

According to City of Pittsburgh Housing

Authority Executive Director, Caster

Binion, Garfield is the model on how

affordable housing should look. Begin-

ning almost 7 years ago, the severely

distressed public housing development

where 326 row houses existed, is now a

mixed income community that will con-

sist of 225 townhomes upon comple-

tion. The construction of the remaining

50 homes will be completed April 2013,

ten detached homes of which will have

garages. This project achieved high

“green” standards established by the

Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency

and was awarded tax credits for all four

phases consecutively. Additionally each

phase has been completed within a

year. But perhaps its most notable

accomplishment is the record number

of Section 3 employees and MBE/WBE

contractors involved with the project,

more than 54 both skilled and un-

skilled laborers from Garfield and sur-

rounding neighborhoods, said Tisha

Germany, Assistant Vice President of

KBK Enterprises. We engaged the

community by working with the for-

mer resident council, Garfield Jubilee,

Bloomfield Garfield, the local National

Association of Minority Contractors

(NAMC) and the African American

Chamber of Commerce of Western

Pennsylvania along with the commu-

nity. 54 Section 3 employees worked

on the construction of Garfield Com-

mons. The development featured the

largest number of Section 3 employ-

ment in the City’s history. Section 3 is

intended to ensure when employment

or contracting opportunities are gen-

erated because a Section 3 covered

project or activity requires the em-

ployment of additional persons or the

awarding contracts for work, prefer-

ence must be given to low and very

low income persons or business con-

cerns residing in the community

where the project is located. Section 3

promotes local economic develop-

ment, neighborhood economic im-

provement and individual self-

sufficiency. Of 33 subcontractors,

21were minority and women owned

businesses (MWBE) .

It is very likely that the Garfield model will be imple-

mented in some form with Addison Terrace when the

development goes vertical. KBK Enterprises won the

award for Addison Terrace, exceeding their largest

minority award for Garfield.

Garfield has given proof to the theory that putting

residents to work does work for everyone involved,

especially the community. Residents who are em-

ployed in the redevelopment of their community

have a personal, tangible investment to ensure that

the community stays sustainable. Residents at Gar-

field are offered and participate in a multitude of

programming sponsored through The KBK Founda-

tion, the community supportive services partner of

KBK Enterprises. The core mantra of The KBK Foun-

dation is “Changing Lives by Going Beyond Bricks and

Sticks”. Many of the resident activities occur at the

development’s state of the art community center,

known as The Pride Center. Activities such as, com-

puter and fitness classes, tax preparation, communi-

ty day, harvest and holiday festivals have high resi-

dent participation. Keith B. Key, Chairman of The

KBK Foundation has a vested interest in the Garfield

community. He was born and raised in Garfield

Heights. It gave him the opportunity to sow back into

the community where he once grew up. You can also

Addison Terrace Receives $30 Million In Tax Exempt Bond Volume Cap

The Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency

(PHFA) Board announced a $30 million tax credit

allocation toward the Housing Authority of the City

of Pittsburgh’s next major redevelopment initiative:

Addison Terrace Phase I Redevelopment with 186

units of new mixed-income housing located in the

Hill District and led by co-developers Allies and Ross

Management and Development Corporation and

KBK Enterprises.

HACP Executive Director Caster D. Binion said, “On

behalf of the HACP Board of Commissioners, our

Chairman Rev. Ricky Burgess, and Mayor Luke Ra-

venstahl, “I’m proud to announce that the Addison

Terrace redevelopment effort has received this ma-

jor award. This will allow our development team to

pursue a more aggressive construction schedule and,

most significantly, help bring low income Pittsburgh

residents home to a rebuilt, revitalized, Addison Ter-

race as quickly as possible.”

The incentive program provides an annual tax credit

that allows for reduction of the investor’s federal

taxes – for the first 10 years following the comple-

tion of the project. This tax credit is a big help be-

cause developers leverage the tax credits through

sale to potential investors as a source of funding for

the development.

Addison Terrace Phase I is the first of a three-phase

housing redevelopment plan in the Hill District. This

redevelopment effort is being implemented in part-

nership with the United States Department of Hous-

ing and Urban Redevelopment, Allies and Ross,

PHFA and Keith B. Key Enterprises.

KBK Enterprises - Pittsburgh PA

The development is one of the largest redevelop-

ments of affordable housing within the City of Pitts-

burgh. The 400 modern mixed-income units similar

to the recently completed Garfield Commons will

replace 734 obsolete units of public housing con-

structed in the 1940s. The new housing will inte-

grate and reconnect surrounding communities by

introducing new buildings, improving existing

neighborhood streets, enhancing walkability and

safety and neighborhood connectivity.

Addison Phase I includes numerous green design

principles for energy efficiency, water conservation,

low maintenance landscapes, storm water manage-

ment and the use of eco-friendly products. The pro-

ject will seek to earn an Enterprise Foundation

Green Community designation.

KBK Enterprises Joining Presidential Roundtable

KBK Enterprises joined the African American Chamber of Commerce of Western Penn-sylvania (AACCWP) Presiden-tial Roundtable. KBK is the first African American busi-ness to achieve this status. 16 top executives compose the Roundtable from the business and academic communities in the Pennsylvania region. The creation of the Presidential Roundtable in 1998 was the result of the Chamber’s need to develop corporate links for relationship building to grow the organization. This was ini-tiated to encourage chief exec-utive officers in the business and academic sectors of West-ern Pennsylvania to commit to being an executive member of the Chamber. Mr. Key has been a member of the Cham-ber since 2006. The mission of the Chamber is to continuous-ly improve business and pro-fessional opportunities for African American business owners and professionals.

Cameron Group To Provide Supportive Services Cameron Professional Services Group (CPSG) was selected by KBK to become part of the de-velopment team that will pro-vide Community Supportive Services to Addison Terrace. They were selected in part to their response to an RFQ in 2012 for Community Relations Services. The professional ser-vices firm has over 35 years of experience and is a certified Section 3 and MWBE headquar-tered in the Hill District. The firm is led by husband and wife team Kevin and Francine Cam-eron. Both provide leadership to the National Black MBA Asso-ciation where Kevin served as President. CPSG has worked with HACP, the URA and finan-cial service industry giants such as Fannie Mae.
