UPDATED, Oct. 8, 12:40 p.m.: Pinnacle secured $30.8 million of financing to build an affordable housing development for seniors in south Miami-Dade County.

Citibank provided $22.1 million through the purchase of 9 percent tax credits and also lent Pinnacle $4.3 million for the 112-unit rental project, Cannery Row at Redlands Crossing. Miami-Dade County also contributed a $3.5 million surtax loan, according to a release.

Pinnacle will be developing the apartments at 14380 Southwest 261st Street in partnership with Rural Neighborhoods, a non-profit organization that provides shelter for working families, especially migrant and farmworkers, according to its website.

Miami-based Pinnacle and Rural Neighborhoods supplied the final $900,000 to bring the financing total to $30.8 million.

The development entity, Cannery Row at Redlands Crossing, LLLP, paid $2.75 million for the land in August 2019, according to a spokesperson.
