Multi-Family

Overview

Housing is the foundation of every strong community.

We counsel owners, developers, managers, investors, and lenders across the full lifecycle of multifamily properties, including acquisition, disposition, financing, development, rehabilitation, and operation. Our experience spans market-rate and affordable rental housing.

We advise on government-sponsored enterprise financing through Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, HUD/FHA loan programs for construction, rehabilitation, acquisition, and refinancing, and other financing structures for affordable and low-income housing, including bond financing and tax credits. Our multifamily practice is expanding, with a growing focus on multifamily development throughout the US.
