Community Development

Community development projects differ significantly from conventional market rate ventures due to reliance on government subsidies and generally below-market rents and sales prices. The Wachovia Community Development Finance Group specializes in deploying capital that supports affordable housing, economic revitalization, and small business enterprises throughout the East Coast. Our customers are “for profit” and “non-profit” businesses, real estate developers, and financial intermediaries.
