Cortez Hill’s Aria building (1441 Ninth Avenue) now offers FHA and VA financing. This is a great opportunity for buyers, as Aria is currently the only Cortez Hill development built post-2000 that can extend these types of financing without the buyer applying for individual unit approval (i.e., “spot approvals”). FHA loans require a 3.5% down payment, while VA loans can fund to 100%. Aria still has a lot of very competitively priced 1-, 2-, and 3-bedroom view units available with all the amenities one would expect from a building of its caliber.
