Landmarks Community Capital Corporation, a non-profit lending subsidiary of our organization, recently completed a $75,000 to William Herman, the proprietor of Redefined Vintage, a boutique furniture store housed in an old red-brick storefront in Tarentum.
The loan funds will enable Mr. Herman, a landscape architect, to install a new roof on his building, which once housed an Isaly’s Restaurant in the historic borough. Redefined Vintage is now a well-established boutique furniture store that transforms old, usually neglected pieces of furniture into distinctive pieces of art.
This loan complements two other loans—including $200,000 to help renovate and repurpose the former St. Clements Church into an office and events’ space, and $160,000 to help convert the former GC Murphy Building into office space and community spaces— through which our organization is helping to finance preservation as a part of community redevelopment in the borough.
Certified by the United States Department of the Treasury as a Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI), LCC makes sixty percent of its loans in low-to-moderate-income neighborhoods and communities to either for-profit or non-profit developers.
