Ali Sisson represents developers, landowners and investors in all aspects of affordable and market-rate real estate transactions.
I work with owners and developers of multifamily affordable housing on several aspects of the acquisition, rehabilitation and new construction of projects financed with low-income housing tax credits (LIHTCs). I also represent a top asset manager in the affordable housing space in the sale of its investments and limited partner interests in communities financed with low-income housing tax credits.
I work with clients on various general real estate matters involving both commercial and multifamily residential property, including site acquisition, project equity and loan matters, property diligence review, title and survey review, and zoning matters.
With the continued need for affordable housing in the Commonwealth, I anticipate a significant boom in the multifamily affordable housing industry. I look forward to working with clients to revitalize communities around the country.
