Trusted and innovative, practical and visionary, Architectural Heritage Foundation strives to achieve economic sustainability with each project. AHF brings a disciplined approach to each of the four stages critical to a project's success: |
| |
Project evaluation and feasibility |
| |
Financial feasibility is the underpinning of all AHF's projects. Our approach carefully weighs the community's goals and needs against the project's financial potential. AHF is then able to bring together the right combination of project partners, funding, and subsidy to make our projects viable. |
| |
Community involvement and team building |
| |
AHF is experienced in managing the many constituents involved in a successful project. As the active, full-service developer, AHF brings a skilled team together and carefully manages the budget and schedule. We communicate with the community's key stakeholders and ensure the collaboration of the various team members to make a successful project. |
| |
Project financing |
| |
We typically join forces with an equity partner to complete our projects. These partnerships can take a variety of forms, from co-developers to largely silent equity partners. In addition, AHF has the expertise in-house to prepare the tax credit and grant applications that often round out our projects' feasibility.
- Federal and State Historic Preservation Tax Credits
- New Markets Tax Credits
- Grants, other charitable sources, and non-profit loans
- Double- and triple-bottom line investment funds

Project development and management |
| |
AHF assembles a team skilled in construction management and the reuse of historic structures, whose expertise ensures that each project is of the highest quality. At the core of our commitment to quality is our pragmatic approach, which ensures that projects are completed on time and on budget. After the construction is complete, AHF remains a presence, committed to the long-term stewardship of the historic structures and the communities they serve. |
