| Our Strategic
Advantage |
| |
AHF's unique status as a not-for-profit real estate developer is a
significant asset in the realm of market-based real estate, offering
communities a trusted liaison while delivering financial returns to
equity partners. |
| |
Approvals |
| |
As the public face of a development team, AHF is a trusted entity
within the community. Bringing a track record of thoughtful and
successful projects opens a dialogue with civic leaders that can
establish rewarding working relationships. Through our open and
collaborative process, AHF is able to work with municipalities to
gain project approvals and return community benefits at the same
time. |
| |
Funding |
| |
AHF, as a non-profit organization, can leverage funds inaccessible
to for-profit developers, such as non-profit targeted public funds,
grants and charitable contributions. For example, AHF was the
recipient of a multi-million dollar earmark from the State of
Massachusetts for the Washington Mills Building No 1 project that
enabled the project to bridge state historic tax credit allocations
and proceed to construction on schedule. Also, the Hamilton Canal
Lofts project was awarded a $250,000 matching grant from the
prestigious, nationally competitive Save America's Treasures program
for the historic preservation of 165 Jackson Street. |
| |
Visibility |
| |
AHF works with local stakeholders from the outset of each project to
understand each community's unique needs and aspirations. Unlike
cookie-cutter development plans, AHF's initiatives are rooted in the
community, resulting in realistic projects with true impact.
Therefore, our mission-driven projects typically receive a breadth
of community support that makes them stand out amongst the
competition. |
