Morh 1 Apartments
741 Filbert Street • Oakland, CA
In 2016, Community Preservation Partners (CPP) acquired Morh 1 Apartments, a 126-townhome community that was in need of infrastructural and aesthetic improvements. CPP made extensive repairs to the property and greatly upgraded the living conditions for the hundreds of residents who call Morh 1 their home.
PARTNERSHIPS
This rehabilitation was a joint venture with Related Affordable. Together, the two companies transformed Morh 1 Apartments into vibrant community with first-class recreational opportunities, including a basketball court, clubhouse and computer room. CPP partnered with the Foundation for Affordable Housing to provide needed services including computer and homework assistance for the residents.
CPP invested $11.2 million into the project; consequently, rents will be kept below market rates for an additional 55 years.
