Applegate & Thorne-Thomsen’s practice was formed in 1998 through years of representing developers, tax credit syndicators, investors, lenders, public housing authorities and community development organizations in the acquisition, financing, rehabilitation, construction and preservation of affordable housing and revitalization of communities.  Serving this broad base of clients affords us a unique understanding of the varied business and legal issues that are integral to this work.  We understand the complexity of multi-layered finance transactions and work proactively with our clients to structure transactions.  We combine our project management skills with the latest technology, including an interactive web based due diligence site to move transactions toward closing in the most expeditious and cost effective manner.
