Northern Liberties and Equity Resource Investments Acquire Arbor Crest, Expanding Affordable Active Adult Housing in Silver Spring, MD
BROOKLYN, N.Y. & CAMBRIDGE, Mass., June 10, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Northern Liberties, a real estate investment firm specializing in workforce housing, and Equity Resource Investments, LLC ("ERI"), a multi-strategy real estate investment firm focused on essential housing and workplaces, today announced the acquisition of Arbor Crest, an 80-unit active adult apartment community located in Silver Spring, Maryland.
Built in 2004, Arbor Crest offers one- and two-bedroom residences for adults aged 62 and over, with amenities designed to support the active lifestyles of its residents. Situated just outside Washington, D.C., the property is well-located in one of the region's most accessible suburban markets.
As part of the acquisition, Northern Liberties entered into a long-term agreement with Montgomery County through its PILOT (Payment In Lieu of Taxes) program. The structure abates all county property taxes for 20 years in exchange for maintaining rent restrictions for qualified residents earning between 45% to 70% of area median income – and is expected to provide long-term affordability without a reliance on federal subsidies.
"We believe this is important for the 'missing middle'—those on fixed or moderate incomes who earn too much for housing assistance, but too little to afford market rents," said Sharif Mitchell, Co-Founder and CEO of Northern Liberties. "By pairing public incentives with targeted capital upgrades and resident-focused services, we believe we can create value for both residents and the property."
"We are pleased to partner with Northern Liberties on this investment," added Paul Coelho, Managing Partner at ERI. "This investment aligns with ERI's approach of seeking to invest in essential real estate across markets that we believe have a common theme of affordability and the potential to generate risk-adjusted returns."
Mitchell, who grew up in Silver Spring where his grandfather lived in a similar senior community, considers the acquisition a personal milestone. "Coming back to invest in the community where I was raised—it's full circle. It makes the work we do even more meaningful."
