Financial Deal Structuring

In today's lending environment, creativity is key to finding ways to structure debt and equity for deals to be viable and reach completion. Our group is skilled at evaluating the viability of the project from the beginning so that time and financial commitments are utilized most efficiently. Whether the project involves traditional lending sources, New Markets money or tax credits or layered financing, we know how to put the pieces together.

Our direct experience includes arranging financing for the Hanna Building, the Bulkley Building, IdeaCenter, 1309 Euclid Avenue and 1317 Euclid Avenue and the Crowne Plaza Cleveland at Playhouse Square. All of these projects utilized historic tax credits. The acquisition of the Middough Building, which is master leased to Cleveland State University, is financed through bonds.

Our financial strengths also apply to more traditional projects such as complex lease assignments or the acquisition and redevelopment of a property. There are few professionals in the Northeast Ohio market who have the experience and track record that we do when it comes to understanding how to structure real estate transactions that require a creative financial approach.
