Kenneth S.Kalynchuk

Director and Principal

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 helps clients navigate the predevelopment stage of their projects through incentive, land use, and market research; pro forma development; feasibility analyses; economic impact analyses; and property tax analyses. He specializes in structuring financing for projects that require brownfield and asbestos remediation, green stormwater infrastructure improvements, and revitalization of vacant urban land and historic buildings. Ken has also assisted clients in obtaining New Markets Tax Credits allocations and Historic Tax Credit awards.
