50 years
Founded in 1973, NCLT aimed to reduce land speculation, increase land accessibility for low-income households, and advance land use for the common good.
118 units
NCLT’s portfolio includes 118 units at 24 properties and includes affordable rentals, co-living spaces, cooperatives, condominiums, community facilities, and gardens.
$40-50 million
