MHA is the national leader in historic tax credit consulting.
Our expert team has successfully navigated more than 1,000 state and federal historic tax credit applications, earning the respect of our clients, SHPOs (State Historic Preservation Offices), and NPS (National Park Service) along the way. We understand the standards for rehabilitating historic buildings and the importance of historic tax credits to the economic feasibility of our clients’ real estate development objectives.
Our seven office locations around the country ensure that while our reach is wide, our expertise is tailored to the states you work in. And we have the right team to advise you in every community you choose to invest in.
History
Having begun his career in historic tax credits as one of the first historic tax credit reviewers at the National Park Service, Bill MacRostie founded MHA in 2003 in Washington, DC. Together with Jen Hembree, they consistently grew a national practice, advising the nation’s leading real estate developers on some of the most iconic historic rehabilitation projects of the time.
With Bill MacRostie managing the Washington, DC office, Allen Johnson established the Chicago office in 2006 and Albert Rex established the Boston office in 2008, creating the core of the firm. A Charleston office was opened in 2012 and, looking to the future, Albert and Allen became partners with Bill in 2014. From there offices were added in San Jose (2016), Houston (2017), and New Orleans (2018), and Albert was named CEO in 2018. The exponential success from this expansion can be attributed to our unique approach to historic preservation that combines our passion for the preservation of the built environment with the intimate knowledge of the economic principles of historic building rehabilitation.
From the beginning, we have been advocates for both state and federal historic tax credits. We have helped to draft historic tax credit bill language in states like Massachusetts, Tennessee, and Georgia. And we are founding members of the Historic Tax Credit Coalition, the industry’s top policy-setting and lobbying organization.
