Historic Tax Credits
Turning Preservation into Profitable Impact
Historic Tax Credits transform the rehabilitation of historic buildings into a smart, reliable investment. Investors receive a 20% federal income tax credit on qualified rehabilitation expenses, while communities benefit from restored landmarks that drive jobs, housing, and economic activity.
These credits are structured transactions, not grants, requiring specialized expertise, careful compliance, and patient capital. With the right partner, Historic Tax Credits deliver both predictable returns and visible impact, preserving America’s heritage while building stronger, more resilient communities.
Who It's For
For Partners Focused on Value and Impact
With Historic Tax Credits, capital works harder. This financing tool is designed for investors, developers, and communities who want to preserve historic assets while generating measurable economic and social value.
Why It Matters

Historic Tax Credits have delivered consistent results for decades, channeling nearly $250 billion in private dollars to projects that strengthen both portfolios and communities. They are not speculative or short-term—they are a tested federal incentive that provides stability even in shifting markets. Beyond returns, HTCs advance environmental sustainability by reusing existing structures and foster economic vitality through preservation-driven development.
