Maya Delano Cinemas / Delano, California$9,000,000
Project Description
Maya Cinemas North America, Inc. (the
“Sponsor” or “Maya”) is a minority owned firm that will develop, own and
operate a 45,000 square foot, 12-screen, commercial movie theater which may
also serve as a community center in Delano, California (the “Project”). Part of
a larger, mixed-use, economic development effort supported by the City of
Delano and Kern County, the Project will act as a quality, neighborhood-focused
commercial anchor. The Project will catalyze future private investment and will offer an extensive array of community
programs and other benefits to the surrounding low-income community.
The Sponsor has a successful track
record of bringing private capital, higher quality permanent jobs and valuable
goods and services to low-income Latino communities. Maya currently owns and
operates a group of anchor commercial theaters under the Maya Cinemas brand
name as part of comprehensive community development plans in working class
Latino neighborhoods. The Sponsor targets communities that need quality and
flexible employment and supports promoting from within. Employees often move to
higher paying positions after their first year.
With an unemployment rate of over 15%, the Project in
anticipated to create 30 new, full-time equivalent jobs with above average
wages, and 90 new construction jobs. Approximately 80% of new jobs are
anticipated to be filled by low-income persons or residents of the surrounding
low-income community. Maya hires individuals that have limited work history
and experience. Frequently, Maya provides a “first-employer experience” for
these individuals. Maya has often employed youth that are in high schools
through its summer employment program, or underemployed individuals with no
employment records.
Absent New Markets Tax Credits, the Project was not financially viable
due to the inability to obtain conventional financing as theaters can be viewed
as a less desirable asset class and further heightened by the perceived “more
difficult to finance” area that Maya targets. In addition, increased
construction costs further enlarged the gap, making DVCI’s allocation critical
to the Project.
Additional NMTC allocation was provided by Chase
New Markets Corporation ($1,000,000) and Mid-City Community CDE ($7,000,000) and
JP Morgan Chase acquired the New Markets Tax Credits.
