Team experience

Our team has extensive experience in the development and management of affordable housing projects. We have successfully integrated affordability with design quality in numerous projects, ensuring compliance with HUD, Low Income Housing Tax Credits, New Market Tax Credits, HOME Funds, ARPA, and several others. The team is no stranger to the delicate balance of regulatory requirements and agency and the alignment with our respective project. Our approach focuses on Adaptive Reuse and Historic Tax Credits, allowing us to repurpose existing structures into affordable housing units while maintaining high standards of design and functionality as well as New Construction projects with the same level of attention to detail.

Our team has played a significant role in the development, co-development, and consulting on the construction or renovation of over 1,000 housing units nationwide. We have successfully executed projects in various states, including Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri, Florida, and Colorado. Our dedication to affordable housing is evident through our active participation in numerous non-profit organizations and our consistent delivery of high-quality, affordable housing solutions that adhere to regulatory standards.
