Silver Lake Commons entailed the public housing mixed-finance development of a 75-unit elderly supportive housing project for the Housing Authority of the City of Pittsburgh. As Project Manager at Affirmative Investments, Mr. Novak formed the project concept, oversaw the development team, secured and closed the financing—which included public housing capital funds as well as LIHTC, HOME, and FHLB AHP funds—and oversaw construction. The residence opened in 2003 and has received several industry awards from the National Association of Home Builders, the Apartment Association of Metropolitan Pittsburgh, the American Institute of Architects and the American Association of Homes & Services for the Aging.
