We’re always getting ready for the conference season. The Untamed Equity Team looks forward to seeing you at one of these events. Be sure to say hello!

Novogradac Annual HTC Conference 2024
Kansas City, MO | October 10-11

HTC bridge loans typically amount to 90% of the future historic tax credit equity and are secured by the equity installments.  This conference also provides an update on the legislature proceedings regarding the recapture period for the credits.

ICMA Annual Conference 2024
Pittsburgh, PA | September 22-24

What a great exhibit hall.  It was a pleasure to meet many City managers from all over the United States and here about what projects they are working on for the next year.  We partnered with Hunden Partners to create additional resources and solutions for these projects to get completed.

ITIA Conference
Chicago, Illinois | September 18

In Illinois, TIF has been around since the 1970s.  The hot topic now is how to continue utilizing this tool with the TIF districts maturing.  There were a lot of discussions around granting extensions or re-TIF a district.  

IPED HTC Summit
Washington, D.C. | June 12-14

A couple takeaways: 1) The National Park Service has approved $8.81 Billion in rehab projects in 2023, up from 2022 of $7.3Billion 2) Legislation:  The Old Rule around claiming tax credits was to claim the full amount of Rehab costs in the year the project is deemed to be placed in service. The New/Current Rule now states that the credits will be claimed ratably over a 5-year period starting in the year the project is placed in service.  Why does this matter? For example, the 5-year period locks in investors to the project (to hold on to the credits until the year to claim them). Deal flow and transactions could be more frequent.

Bisnow: The Future of Chicago Suburbs
Hoffman Estates, IL | February 28

The Chicago suburbs are quickly becoming a place for companies to expand and to develop true “live, work, play” environments with the availability of space.  Developers and municipalities are collaborating to ease zoning restrictions, invest in more mixed-use builds, and drive economic development solutions.

IEDC Annual Conference 2023
Dallas, TX | September 17-20

I’ll be returning to speak at the IEDC conference in Dallas on September 18th . My focus will be on the nuances of development agreements as well as brainstorming how municipalities and the private sector can work together to enhance the TIF (Tax Increment Financing) incentives. As banks and other private entities tighten down their credit, how can municipalities and developers continue to complete infrastructure projects and drive economic development?

NAIOP CRE Converge 2023
Seattle, WA | October 18-20

Come out to Seattle to hear me speak more about TIF (Tax Increment Financing) at the NAIOP CRE Converge conference on October 19th . My morning session will highlight how to best utilize and monetize the tax increment incentives that a developer will get from a municipality. We will go over standard structures, development agreement language, examples of successful TIF projects, and how you can enhance your return on investment. Monetizing TIF can provide gap equity upfront to get a project to the finish line.
