EGG HARBOR TOWNSHIP, NJ— Conversion of the Clarion Hotel and Convention Center into The Atrium Apartments at Egg Harbor , an 84-unit affordable housing community in the Atlantic City suburb of Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey, is nearly complete. WNC , a national investor in real estate and community development initiatives, provided approximately $14.5 million in low-income housing tax credit equity to fund the conversion. An open house was held for resident applicants to tour the property and discuss the development with project leaders. WNC’s Kelly Henderson , senior vice president of originations, attended the event. “ WNC is thrilled to announce the completion of The Atrium Apartments at Egg Harbor , an affordable housing community that will provide a new and safe place for families to live after being displaced as a result of the devastation of Hurricane Sandy,” says Michael Gaber , WNC executive vice president and chief operating officer. “The need for affordable housing is particularly acute in this region, and WNC is pleased to help deliver this exceptional new community to the working families of the Atlantic City region.” Located at 6821 Black Horse Pike , The Atrium Apartments of Egg Harbor is a LEED Certified Gold Standard community that includes one six-story building comprised of 16 one-bedroom units, 43 two-bedroom units, and 25 three-bedroom units.
