Many of the most impactful development projects in urban communities share a common challenge: the cost of high-quality redevelopment exceeds what the private market alone will bear. RISE specializes in identifying and securing the public investment, philanthropic capital, and regulatory relief needed to make transformational projects financially viable.
Our team has experience negotiating Tax Increment Financing (TIF) agreements, Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILOT) structures, state infrastructure funding, federal opportunity zone investments, and a wide range of state and local incentive programs. We understand how government thinks about risk, return, and community impact — and we know how to frame a project's story to align private investment with public priorities.
The result is projects that get built — and communities that benefit from investment they might not have seen otherwise.
