Creative financial planning breathes fresh life into historic districts in two Massachusetts towns. Several abandoned buildings located within historic districts in Millers Falls and Turners Falls were preserved by the projects, undertaken by Pioneer Valley Redevelopers and Obear Construction Company. In all, 12 affordable housing units were created, along with two residential units, three offices, and a retail unit. For the developers, Cherrytree Group obtained $600,000 in tax credit equity for the projects, which cost over $2 million to complete.
Warren founded Cherrytree in 2011 and has spent the past eleven years building a highly specialized tax credit consultation, brokerage, and syndication firm. He has relied on three decades of experience and a law background to focus on the structural and development finance aspects of tax incentivized real estate-based transactions — particularly in the environmental remediation (Brownfields), renewable energy, and historic rehabilitation areas.
