AHIC Development Risk Ratings – Nuances
- Categories for rating construction, financial, GP/Sponsor/Management, and program compliance issues (GOTG),
- Construction/Lease-up includes issues with delays and sequencing, quality/scope impact
- Financial includes issues with cost overruns and sources for covering shortfalls, reduction of scope of work, and reduction of quality

- Also addresses issues arising from general contractors, GP/Sponsor/Developer management, and program compliance.
- Highlights how specific data issues can impact ratings.
SMT PBI Development Risk Report

SMT PBI Development Risk Report
- Shows metrics like Percent Contingency Used, Projects Under Construction, Cost Change Order, Causes of Cost Change Orders, Causes of Delay, and related project info (e.g., SMT #, Project Name, initial LU%, Current RR).
AHIC Development Risk Ratings – Primary Development Risk Categories-Post Construction
- Leasing: the risk that a project falls behind leasing projections.
- Compliance: the risk that a project does not place all units into Qualified Tenant occupancy; risks of material non-compliance, missing minimum set-aside, and 2/3rd credits.
- Construction loan maturity date: the risk is that the construction loan comes due before necessary projects are complete to support loan repayment; this could result in lender default.
- Permanent loan rate lock: the risk that a rate lock expires, leading to unfavorable new rates and needing loan right-sizing/sources.
AHIC Development Risk Ratings – Primary Development Risk Categories - Post Construction
- Stabilization: the risk the project does not meet projected rents or expenses satisfying the stabilized occupancy benchmark, causing delays in conversion or requiring loan right-sizing.
- Conversion: multiple risks exist in conversion: the risk the project does not convert before the construction or permanent loan maturity date, the risk that the project does not meet the expected debt amount, and the risk of loan default.
- Financial: risk for the project to not meet cost overrun, lease delays expectations from lease up, and need for additional GP fees requiring the DCG to be called.
AHIC Development Risk Ratings – Primary Development Risk Categories – Permanent Loan Rate Lock
- Rate Lock Risk: the risk that project is unable to secure financing at the desired rate lock, leading to delays.
- The risk that project delays the completion or lease-up of the project, increases interest rates in the interim period leading to financing risks. Increases in interest rates that could significantly increase costs.
- Heightened Awareness: tracking mechanism for projects at risk, and reviewing loan commitments with added dates, tracking, and related notes in SMT.
- Significant Delays: Add notes on the permanent loan rate lock.
AHIC Development Risk Ratings – Primary Development Risk Categories – Permanent Loans
- Describes the criteria for rating construction and permanent loans, and nuances where deals fall between clear categories.
- Includes aspects like construction loans being anticipated to be paid, permanent loan conversion on track with original projections, and situations where the loan is not anticipated to be paid within the original terms, indicating potential for risks.

- Status of stabilization and conversion are areas frequently asked about by investors in development deals.
- These are highlighted, noted for clarity in the AHIC write-up,
- It addresses the timeline, material variations, schedules and extensions, noting that the AHIC development rating does not provide designated categorical sub-ratings focusing on stabilization.
AHIC Development Risk Ratings – Primary Development Risk Categories – Financial
- The financial sub-rating is focused primarily on construction cost overruns, and post-construction the overall balance between project sources and uses is considered.
- Sources and uses for the project (e.g., construction cost overruns, construction loan balances, remaining developer fees, and permanent loan amounts).
- Proper sub-rating for financial issues is selected, and specific details related to imbalances are included.
SMT Development Power BI Report
- A report showcasing various development metrics with data pertaining to projects like construction delays, revised completion dates, and current risk ratings (e.g., overall, construction lease-up, financial, construction loan).
