Real Estate & Construction
New trends in real estate and construction are both fueling opportunity and creating a different set of strategic issues in an already unpredictable industry, for example:
- Increases in private equity-backed deals and government contracts
- Regulatory changes and changes to state and local tax credits and incentives
- New risk management requirements
Professionals in Hein’s Real Estate and Construction Practice can help you sort through your options in this changing environment and make the critical decisions so important to the performance of your real estate holdings.
Hein’s Real Estate and Construction Practice began with our work related to condemned properties surrounding a major municipal project. That’s an unusual expertise, but it characterizes the knowledge and versatility of our team, which provides a comprehensive array of tax, accounting, and consulting services. We serve all segments of the real estate industry:
- Business owners
- Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITS)
- Developers, architects, and construction contractors
- Property managers
We know real estate and construction from all sides: entity, operations, and strategy. Attorneys rely on our expertise to review partnership agreements to ensure that the terms can be applied within the tax and accounting law. Developers and architects count on us to mitigate the costs of construction, working in partnership with our mining, oil and gas, and other Hein experts where appropriate. REITs engage us to manage the timing of funds distribution on their investments.
Powerful forces like interest rates, credit, market fluctuations, and new tax laws shape the real estate industry. We understand how they work together to impact the performance of your investments—and we have the solutions to give you a strong measure of control.
