Blackstone and Dominium Expand Partnership to Bring Additional New Affordable Housing to Phoenix

Blackstone to Provide an Additional $31 Million of Tax Credit Equity to Support Dominium’s Latest 196-Unit LIHTC Development in Phoenix, Arizona

Blackstone (NYSE: BX), through its affordable housing portfolio company, April Housing (“April”), and Dominium, a leading affordable housing owner, developer and manager, today announced an expansion of their partnership to develop Casa Azure, which will bring 196 new affordable housing units to Phoenix, Arizona. Building on its commitment to preserve and create new affordable housing, Blackstone will provide $31 million of tax credit equity to support the development of this community. This increases Blackstone and April Housing’s commitment to expand the affordable housing stock in Maricopa County to a total of 568 new LIHTC units through $79mm of investments.

Casa Azure is an age-restricted, seniors' property, which will be available to those earning at or below 60 percent of the area median income. The property will feature several community amenities including a pool, clubhouse, library and fitness center. Casa Azure also utilizes solar panels on the roofs of its carports and ION water systems to help save energy and water.

“We are excited to expand our relationship with Blackstone and April Housing,” said Mark Moorhouse, Dominium Managing Partner and Executive Vice President of Development. “Their investment in Casa Azure, coupled with their previous investment in Aviara Flats, demonstrates a significant commitment to affordable housing for both seniors and families in the Phoenix area. We appreciate their partnership and expertise as we continue working to address the shortage of affordable housing nationwide.”

Kathleen McCarthy, Global Co-Head of Blackstone Real Estate, said, “Alongside April Housing, we have been identifying innovative ways to address the shortage of affordable housing. We are excited to expand our partnership with Dominium and create new, affordable housing for seniors in Phoenix.”

“April's commitment to preserve and create affordable housing is at the center of everything we do,” said Alice Carr, Chief Executive Officer of April Housing. “We are thrilled to continue expanding the supply of affordable housing in an area where it is much needed, especially serving seniors, many of whom have fixed incomes.”
