Historic Rehabilitation and New Markets Tax Credits
Satisfying the requirements for Historic Rehabilitation and New Markets Tax Credits can be difficult and confusing. We will help you at each stage of your development and guide you through the Regulations and laws applicable to such projects.
We are experienced in combining Historic Rehabilitation tax credits with low income housing tax credits (LIHTC) and will help you structure your development to take advantage of the credits and work with you to put together a successful team to obtain the necessary approvals.
New Market Tax Credit projects (NMTC) often involve complex structures with several tiers of investors. An example of a NMTC project for which we provided legal assistance to the developer is the Pyramid Motors building in Lynchburg, Virginia, which is now a medical office complex. We were instrumental in the property acquisition, lease negotiations and closing of the historic and New Markets credit transactions.
Low-Income Housing
Lawyer Johnson Kanady has been a Director of the Virginia Housing Coalition for many years. He has provided legal representation for roughly 100 low-income housing projects across the state. His involvement in these projects extends to providing legal counsel for the non-profit organizations managing the property. He takes pride in the gratifying work he does that helps to make possible safe, clean and affordable housing for the citizens of Virginia.
