In addition to his substantial expertise in traditional real estate finance and development law, he also has experience with tax-exempt revenue bond finance, and has worked extensively with the firm’s Community Development Authority (CDA) team on numerous CDA/Tax-Increment Financing districts, including so-called “Town Center” projects.
