Ken helps identify, secure, and manage public and private financing opportunities for development and construction projects. He is currently managing financing for several Cleveland-area business expansions, numerous real estate development deals across Ohio, and several multistate company headquarters searches. He is also assisting clients in securing financing for several dozen other development projects, including headquarters relocations, historic building rehabilitations, warehouse and distribution centers, and mixed-use developments across the country.

Ken has also assisted clients in obtaining New Markets Tax Credits allocations and Historic Tax Credit awards.

Since 2016, Ken has helped more than 50 clients successfully close on financing for their projects, which have included large mixed-use developments in Ohio and Texas, mall redevelopments in Massachusetts and Ohio, more than a dozen brownfield redevelopments, and incentives for dozens of companies to help them grow and create new jobs. Ken also has assisted clients with financing projects in Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, and Pennsylvania.
