Specialists in Federal and State tax credit programs for commercial solar installations, remediation of Brownfields properties and rehabilitation of historic buildings.
State and Federal governments want to encourage businesses and individuals to generate renewable energy, clean contaminated lands and renovate historic or low-income properties. Enlightened developers and investors can sharply reduce their equity needs and achieve significant tax savings by taking advantage of tax credit programs meant for conscientious development. At Cherrytree, we can show you how.

Our Services:

Federal Tax Credits
Cherrytree has developed a premier (first-in-the-industry) platform to bring the same tax credits to individuals and closely-held companies that large institutions and multinational companies have relied on for decades. Our specialty is in creating and managing partnerships for projects generating $10 million or less in tax credits, depreciation and cash flow. These partnerships are ideal for non-institutional investors who have significant passive income to be able to properly use the tax credits.

State Tax Credits
For clean-up of contaminated land (brownfields) and historic property development, Cherrytree handles transactions of all sizes — including some of the largest state credits ever issued. Our state tax credit investors include medium-size investors, large institutional companies, fortune 500 companies, and multinational corporations.

Transferable Tax Credits
The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) allows the transfer of solar tax credits without the need for partnership with real estate developers and owners. Cherrytree serves as a “matchmaker” between developer and investor – creating a win-win for developers and tax credit buyers.

Value for Investors
Recent IRR/ROI projections for our renewable energy partnerships and historic building partnerships show that when depreciation and cash flow are factored in, an investor’s net return will likely range from 40 – 54% — extremely attractive for those investors who have incurred passive income tax liabilities.

Own & Operate
Cherrytree Group now owns and operates its own renewable energy projects, totaling 11.49MW in power generation. This assists developers in accelerating projects and creates opportunities for forward-minded investors.

You’re never alone in the process. Our team shoulders the burden, yet keeps you notified as to progress and milestones. And if you need advice on an existing tax credit project, we’re always happy to help.
We practice what we preach.
When the Cherrytree team outgrew our headquarters in Newton Highlands (just outside of Boston), we didn’t just look for an office building. We searched for —and finally found — a wonderfully historic building, conveniently located in the Auburndale neighborhood of Newton. The building needed much work, but we used our tax credit expertise to benefit from Federal and State tax credits for historic renovation, and are in the beginning stages of planning renewable energy systems which will yield even more tax credits. It’s a microcosm of what we accomplish for our clients every day, and we’re proud to be able to preserve a beautiful building in the Greater Boston community.
