The current occupancy level at Raleigh Gardens is 89%. The property is used strictly for affordable housing
for families. During the proposed preservation and renovation, we will not displace any residents. This gives
the residents the least amount of inconvenience. The residents will also be informed of what scope and
schedule of renovations are taking place in their units. A Resident Service Coordinator (RSC) is on staff and
handles all questions, concerns, and notifications. Before construction starts, we send out brochures,
conduct town hall meetings on-site, and disburse notice to all residents. These tools help the residents get
familiar with the process and manage their expectation.

It should also be noted that the current owner has sent letters to each resident informing his potential plan
to opt out of the project based section 8 HAP contract. See attached letter.

Market Study Information


Please provide a detailed description of the proposed project:
Ashton Raleigh, LP is a proposed rehabilitation of an existing complex located on 15.874 acres at 6145-A
St. Giles Road, Raleigh NC 27612.

This existing project, Raleigh Gardens Apartments, consists of fourteen (14) garden style apartment
buildings containing 125 residential units comprised of thirty (30) one bedroom units that range between
504 and 561 square feet, forty six (46) two bedroom units that are 799 square feet, twenty four (24) three
bedroom units that are 1142 square feet, and twenty-five (25) four bedroom units that are 1232 square feet.
The property has a leasing office onsite and one employee unit.

The building foundation is reinforced concrete on spread footings. The exterior walls are wood frame with
brick veneer. The sloped roofs are covered with asphalt shingles. Unit interiors are wood frame with painted
sheetrock walls. Floors are covered with padded carpeting except the vinyl kitchen and the bathrooms.
Each unit is equipped with a refrigerator, range, washer, and dryer connection, and central heat and air
conditioning. There are trash dumpsters located close to the buildings for convenient trash disposal.

The proposed rehabilitation will be extremely extensive and will raise the quality of living for our residents
tremendously. The proposed rehab includes roof replacement on all 14 buildings and the parking lot will get
an overlay as well as being resealed and striped. Drainage issues will be addressed with any other
landscaping upgrades we will be performing. To increase safety on the property we will be adding new site
lighting plus a fence surrounding the property. Decorative gables and shutters will be added to give the
property a new, fresh appeal and the wood siding will be encased with concrete siding. Proposed changes
to increase energy efficiency include replacing all windows with double pane windows, ventilation, and
energy efficient HVAC units. All of these changes, plus new entry doors for every unit will make Raleigh
Gardens look brand new.

Inside the units we will be replacing all cabinets, countertops and sinks. The HVAC systems will be
upgraded to a 13 seer system. In addition, all residents will enjoy new dishwashers, microwaves, and
disposals which are new amenities we are providing for our residents. Every unit will also receive new
carpeting and floor coverings.

In addition to interior and exterior upgrades, we have budgeted a new community building that will be 1436
square feet. This new community building will be the same construction as the rest of the property so that
the property remains uniform. The new community building will have a laundry room, computer center,
reading room, exercise room, and space for resident activities. We are very excited about this because the
property does not currently have any type of community space nor do they have a laundry facility. We will
also be constructing a new outdoor activity area for the residents which will include a covered pavilion, a
fully equipped picnic area, and a tot lot for the children. Additional site lighting will be added for safety.

Lastly, a minimum of five percent of the units will be renovated to meet applicable handicap requirements
and two percent for sight and hearing impaired. Supportive services and amenities will be added to
compliment the property.

With all of the upgrades and construction of a new community center and outdoor activity area we believe
this will greatly improve the property, but most importantly greatly improve the quality of living for our
residents and provide long term affordable housing to the City of Raleigh for many years.
