Wallick-Hendy Development Company is embarking on a $12 million renovation of the four-story, 130,000-square-foot building that will upgrade the roof, windows, carpets, vinyl flooring, kitchen cabinets and counter tops.
Construction is scheduled for completion by the fall of 2014.
Haddon Hall was constructed in 1910 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. Since 1982, the 114-unit building has been home to low-income seniors and people with disabilities.
OHFA's funding is part of more than $20 million in affordable housing initiatives and more than $13.7 million in Multifamily Housing Bonds approved by the board for projects throughout the state. The tax-exempt bonds are used to fund construction and mortgage loans at below-market interest rates.
The Haddon Hall project was awarded more than $1 million in Ohio Historic Preservation Tax Credits earlier this year.
