Predevelopment Costs
You carry design, entitlement, and consultant costs before your construction financing closes.
For Affordable Housing Developers
Engineered for Your Capital Stack
We understand what it costs to carry a project until funding closes. Our fee structures can follow your milestones, and we plan your submittals around tax credit and funding deadlines.
What We Understand About Your Deal
Layered Funding Sources
Each funding source can bring its own requirements, reporting, and timeline, and they all have to line up.
Tax Credit and Funding Deadlines
Application and award deadlines do not move, so entitlements and submittals have to be ready in time.
Fee Structures Around Your Milestones
Fee deferral to entitlement or to Conditions of Approval is available on a deal-by-deal basis. We structure it around your project's milestones and discuss it project by project, alongside the scope and schedule your funding requires.
- Fee deferral to entitlement or Conditions of Approval, by deal
- Fee milestones that can follow your funding schedule
