Bringing people together.

Mike Nelson has spent his career bringing clients, bankers, investors and municipalities together to create projects that leave a positive mark on the community. His solid track record has led the firm to complete more than $1 billion in projects.

Nelson is an industry expert when it comes to navigating complex tax credits, economic incentives, bridge financing, tax increment financing and enterprise zone tax credits. He is naturally drawn to challenging projects and looks to partner with people who share his vision and energy, but don’t have the development and construction background required to conquer a historic renovation.
