Wachovia Community Development Enterprises, LLC

Charlotte NC


Wachovia Community Development Enterprises (“Wachovia CDE”) will provide debt and equity-like capital at significantly better-than-market terms to businesses in targeted low-income communities, both directly and through other CDEs and CDFIs. Investments will finance the construction, rehabilitation and operation of for-sale housing, office, retail, industrial, mixed-use and community facilities and businesses. Target projects will include “green” buildings, whose initial costs of construction can be higher than conventional buildings, and projects whose costs have escalated because of localized shortages of building supplies and labor, as can be expected in the Hurricane Katrina or other disaster areas.

NMTC (2007) - $105,000,000

Wachovia Community Development Enterprises (“Wachovia CDE”) will provide debt and equity-like capital at significantly better-than-market terms to businesses in targeted low-income communities, both directly and through other CDEs and CDFIs. Investments will finance the construction, rehabilitation and operation of for-sale housing, office, retail, industrial, mixed-use and community facilities and businesses. Target projects will include “green” buildings, whose initial costs of construction can be higher than conventional buildings, and projects whose costs have escalated because of localized shortages of building supplies and labor, as can be expected in the Hurricane Katrina or other disaster areas.



NMTC (2006) - $143,000,000

Wachovia Community Development Enterprise (WCDE) will provide debt and equity-like capital at better-than-market terms to finance the construction, rehabilitation and operation of for-sale housing, office, retail, industrial, mixed-use and community facilities and businesses. WCDE will use the economic value of the NMTC to provide permanent, equity-like gap financing on projects whose outside sources of capital are insufficient to fund the transaction, including projects whose costs of construction are unusually high because they are designed with environmentally friendly features or because localized shortages of building supplies and labor cause construction costs to increase. WCDE anticipates utilizing at least 30% in support of businesses located in areas affected by Hurricane Katrina.



NMTC (2005) - $90,000,000

Wachovia Community Development Enterprises (WCDE) will use the economic value of the NMTC to subsidize the cost of financing real estate transactions by lowering the interest rate to qualified real estate and non-real estate businesses. This capital will be used to finance the construction, rehabilitation and operation of office, retail, industrial, mixed-use and community service properties and businesses. WCDE also intends to use a significant portion of its NMTC proceeds to make loans to and investments in, and to purchase loans from, other CDEs. NMTCs will be used to lower the cost of capital for these CDEs, so that they may in turn pass on lower cost financing to their end users.



NMTC (2002) - $150,000,000

Wachovia will utilize its NMTC allocation to support: 1) business loans and lines of credit (working capital, liquidity, etc.) for small businesses, real estate developers, community organizations, CDEs, and CDFIs; 2) real estate loans and investments in community facilities, businesses, and for-sale housing; 3) equity and mezzanine financing in small businesses, particularly those owned by minorities and women; and 4) investments in community development venture capital funds, loan pools, and other CDEs. The NMTC will allow WCDE to strengthen its nontraditional transactions by mitigating underwriting shortfalls that would otherwise prevent an investment from occurring.
