Expert guidance from a developer
underwriting the same deals as you.

We make a project's numbers pencil under real underwriting scrutiny, then build the funding stack to match — developing pro formas against your actual site and program, running financial readiness assessments against likely funding sources (LIHTC, HOME, layered public and private capital, or less conventional tools like C-PACE, Historic, or New Markets Tax Credits), and translating that into a capital stack strategy you can take directly to lenders and funders. This includes novel ownership-model structuring — Land Trust / PropCo / OpCo entity architecture and right-to-occupy ownership designs — for clients exploring alternatives to conventional homeownership or rental models.

We start with a land use scan against your program goals, followed by an honest read on zoning, entitlement, and political feasibility — including constraints that don't show up on a zoning map, like utility or transit easements, or a jurisdiction's pending code changes. We map the development process end to end, flag permitting and entitlement bottlenecks early, and build fast-track implementation strategies wherever realistic, informed by direct, current experience navigating municipal planning processes on active sites across our own portfolio.

We treat partnership development as deal architecture — the partnership stack for an affordable housing development can be as complex, and even more important, than the capital stack. We help identify the right development, capital, and community partners for your specific site and purpose; structure the ownership or joint-venture arrangement between them; and build a plan for a development pipeline so you're not starting from scratch on the next project.
