The California Statewide Communities Development Authority (CSCDA) is pleased to announce the issuance of $191,250,000 in tax-exempt revenue bonds for the construction of new student housing facilities located on the University of California, Irvine campus, and the refinancing of prior issued bonds.
About CHF-Irvine and the East Campus Apartments:
The UC-Irvine East Campus Apartments, owned by CHF-Irvine, L.L.C. (CHF Irvine) and operated by American Campus Communities, are currently comprised of more than 6,500 student beds developed in four phases between 2005 and 2017. Collegiate Housing Foundation, a non-profit corporation (CHF), is the sole member of CHF Irvine. CHF was organized in 1996 exclusively for charitable and educational purposes, including assisting its member colleges and universities in providing housing for their enrolled students and faculty and otherwise assisting its member colleges and universities in furtherance of their educational missions.
About the Financing:
The current transaction finances the construction of the new Phase IV-B of the East Campus Apartments, comprised of approximately 1,071 additional student housing beds for both undergraduate and graduate students. The bonds will also be used to refinance CSCDA’s outstanding 2011 bonds, issued to finance an earlier phase of student housing on the UC Irvine campus. CSCDA and CHF-Irvine partnered with Jefferies and Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe, LLP to provide the $191,250,000 in tax-exempt revenue bonds for the Phase IV-B Project and 2011 refunding.
