As a company with decades of experience navigating the Historic Tax Credit (HTC) process, Heritage is thrilled to provide expertise and connect with developers, architects, investors, and stakeholders at conferences throughout the year.

Jen Davel (Midwest Director) led a tour of the Editor’s Suites at Journal Commons in Milwaukee during the Wisconsin Economic Development Association (WEDA) 2025 Governor’s Conference on Economic Development in early February. The Journal Commons building was originally designed in 1924 by Frank D. Chase, a notable newspaper architect from Chicago. Heritage guided the owners through the HTC process, and the rehabilitated building won the prestigious National Trust Driehaus Award in 2024.

In late January, Nick Kraus (Vice President) was a panelist at the Saving Places Conference in Colorado Springs. "Building Solutions: Unlocking Colorado's Housing Potential" discussed how the HTC can be utilized to create greatly needed affordable housing in Colorado, such as the recently completed Heritage project 655 Broadway Building in Denver.

Coming up, Elizabeth Rosin (Senior Vice President) will be a panelist on a Webinar presented by the Historic Tax Credit Coalition on February 27^th. The panelists will discuss strategies for maintaining a strong state HTC program. Click the link below for more information and to register.

HTC Advocacy: Your Voice Matters During Tax Legislation

In this month’s Historic Tax Credit Tool Box article in the Novogradac Journal of Tax Credits, we discuss how the Historic Tax Credit Coalition is encouraging historic preservation advocates to join its efforts by reaching out to members of Congress asking them to support long-overdue improvements to the HTC. Click below to read about the HTC's champions in Congress, and how to get involved. Together we can make improvements to the HTC and help shape the future of the program.

Eastchester Houses in the Bronx borough of New York City is now on the National Register of Historic Places! The complex remains significant as an intact example of post-World War II public housing initiatives and the city-funded, no-cash, limited subsidy program for the creation of post-World War II housing.

The complex was designed in 1949 by the New York-based architecture firm Harrison and Abramovitz. The site contains five, eight-story cruciform-plan buildings and five, seven-story double-cruciform-plan buildings located on a roughly 15-acre site which includes recreational areas, concrete walking paths, landscaped greenspace, streetlamps, metal fencing, and a playground.

The complex is currently undergoing a rehabilitation utilizing HTCs, and we're honored to continue our work with the New York City Housing Authority and their development partners.
