Executive summary

BWE Investment Sales LLC (BWE) is pleased to present the exclusive opportunity to acquire Foster Pointe Apartments, Cornerstone Senior Apartments, and Residences at Cornerstone — a three-property, 187-unit affordable housing portfolio in Cleveland, Ohio, offered individually or together. Foster Pointe (61 units) and Cornerstone Senior (50 units) are post-Year 15 LIHTC age-restricted senior communities operating at 98% occupancy. Residences at Cornerstone is a 97% occupied family LIHTC property in which a buyer will acquire the General Partner interest — the controlling entity entitled to ~ 90% of distributable cash flow.

Cornerstone Senior and Residences at Cornerstone operate as Phase I and Phase II of a two-phase community in East Cleveland, each with its own leasing office, amenities, and regulatory structure, while sharing a common parking lot. The proximity and shared infrastructure of the two phases — combined with Foster Pointe’s location within 20 minutes — create a meaningful opportunity for a new owner to consolidate staffing, streamline management functions, and reduce operating expenses across all three assets.

All three properties are located within federally designated Qualified Census Tracts (QCTs), entitling a future developer to a 30% basis boost in a tax credit resyndication. Residences at Cornerstone benefits from a 100% real estate tax abatement running through 2034, providing over a decade of operating cost protection. Foster Pointe and Cornerstone Senior previously benefited from similar 15-year, 100% real estate tax abatements — the precedent of which positions a new owner to pursue reinstated exemptions or negotiated Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILOT) agreements with the City of Cleveland, representing a tangible opportunity to improve net cash flow at the property level.

Please contact a BWE team member for additional information on acquiring these assets individually or as a portfolio.

Investment highlights

Meaningful Rent Spread Between LIHTC Rents, Market Rents & Comparable Properties

The average market rent for a one-bedroom apartment in Cleveland is ~$1,500/month, which represents a ~$330 (21%) spread between the 60% LIHTC max rent. In addition, the properties' in-place rents are between $50-$150 below (Cornerstone Senior & Residences at Cornerstone) and ~$235 below (Foster Pointe) nearby comparable properties in the submarket, representing immediate revenue upside.

Significant AMI & Rent Limit Increases

The Cleveland MSA saw the 2026 4-person Area Median Income (AMI) increase to $106,000, a 5.6% increase over 2025. The area has averaged a 6% increase over the last 5 years – reflecting the region’s strengthening economic base anchored by healthcare, education, and professional services.

Real Estate Tax Abatement

Residences at Cornerstone benefits from a 100% real estate tax abatement with the City of Cleveland that expires in 2034. This generates additional cash flow for the partnership, of which the General Partner receives 90%. Cornerstone Senior had a similar 15-year tax abatement that expired in 2023. Additionally, Ohio has changed how they calculate real estate tax expenses for LIHTC properties, which creates more transparency and certainty.

Resyndication Candidate & Real Estate Tax Abatement

Cornerstone Senior is located in a Qualified Census Tract (QCT), which provides a 30% basis boost in tax credit. A commitment to affordability bodes well for a new owner to reinstate the expired real estate tax abatement. Foster Pointe is also located in a QCT, which provides a 30% basis boost in tax credits. Foster Pointe had a 15-year 100% real estate tax abatement that has expired, but it sets a precedent for a new owner to seek out real estate tax savings. Additionally, Ohio has changed how they calculate real estate tax expenses for LIHTC properties, which creates more transparency and certainty.

Senior Age-Restricted Asset with High Occupancy

Foster Pointe operates as an age-restricted community, benefiting from historically low turnover and consistently high occupancy (98% current) – hallmarks of senior affordable housing that translate directly into predictable, durable cash flow. With approximately 28% of Cleveland’s population aged 55+, the demand and occupancy should remain elevated.

Cleveland - A Top-Tier Affordable Housing Investment Market

Cleveland ranked among the top 20 multifamily investment markets nationally in Arbor Realty Trust’s Spring 2026 Multifamily Opportunity Matrix, with the broader Midwest capturing six of the top ten spots. The metro is anchored by recession-resistant employment drivers — including the Cleveland Clinic, University Hospitals, and Sherwin-Williams — that sustain consistent renter demand, support income stability among residents, and reinforce the long-term operating fundamentals critical to affordable housing performance.
