Affordable Senior Housing Acquisition and Preservation in Muskegon
Jackson Hill is a 40-unit affordable senior housing community located in Muskegon, Michigan. Originally constructed in 2004, the property was acquired by General Capital in January 2021 as part of the firm's continued investment in the Muskegon housing market. The community features one- and two-bedroom residences arranged in single-story cottages, each offering private entrances and attached garages. This distinctive residential design provides seniors with the comfort and independence of traditional single-family living within an affordable housing community.
The property's initial Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) compliance period ended in 2019, transitioning Jackson Hill into its extended-use period. General Capital continues to operate the stabilized community while preserving its income-restricted housing opportunities. The property also presents potential for future reinvestment through Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA) 9% housing tax credits, with Qualified Contract eligibility providing additional flexibility. Through long-term ownership and strategic asset management, General Capital maintains Jackson Hill as an important component of its affordable senior housing portfolio.
