Guiding a Virginia Multifamily Development to ENERGY STAR MFNC Certification
D3G supported a multifamily new construction project in Virginia through a multi-year ENERGY STAR® MFNC certification process. Our team provided energy modeling, inspections, and field-driven guidance to help the developer overcome ventilation and air sealing challenges, meet LIHTC program requirements, and deliver a high-performing, energy-efficient property.
Section 18 Reporting for a Capital-Area Housing Portfolio in a High-Cost Urban Market
D3G was engaged by a public housing authority in the Capital Region to analyze a portfolio of eighteen (18) public housing properties through a competitive RFQ and negotiation process. The primary objective was to secure HUD Special Application Center (SAC) demolition-disposition approval for the properties. The properties needed to meet a physical obsolescence threshold determined by HUD to secure demolition-disposition approval. The threshold is based on the cost of making urgent capital repairs at the properties in question compared to the cost of replacing the buildings, which requires skilled, in-depth property analysis by D3G.
Portfolio Conversion through Section 18 Disposition and RAD/Section 18 Blend Consulting for a Midwestern Housing Authority
D3G was selected to support a public housing authority (PHA) with a repositioning study to convert its entire public housing portfolio to the Section 8 platform. The study results indicated that a Section 18 scattered site disposition followed by a RAD/Section 18 Small PHA Blend conversion was most advantageous financially and fit the PHA’s overall goals.

The project required various building renovations, such as the conversion from a steam boiler to a natural gas fuel system, elevator modernization, exterior improvements, handicap accessibility enhancements, and full build-outs for the apartment units. The total project costs exceeded $48M, which provided the funds to renovate 39 affordable housing units, convert 12 market-rate units to affordable units, and adaptively reuse 55 new affordable housing units. Additional bond and funding sources included TIF, Fannie Mae (FNMA), and local and regional grants.
Southwestern Florida Public Housing Redevelopment Project
The Southwestern Florida Public Housing Redevelopment Project was a large-scale undertaking involving the tiered demolition, tenant relocation, and redevelopment of a pre-1960 public housing project.
