Tax Credit Services

Greater Value for a Greater Impact

Stonehenge’s Tax Credit Services team participates in a variety of federal and state incentive programs designed to stimulate private capital investment in targeted industries and generate economic growth.

Who We Serve

Stonehenge provides incentive-based capital solutions to support the financing needs of: (i) Real Estate Developers and Sponsors whose projects have or will generate real estate-based tax credits through historic and similar rehabilitations and (ii) Developers and Sponsors of Renewable Energy Assets that have or will generate renewable energy tax credits through various federal and state tax credit programs.

Stonehenge Capital’s Tax Credit Services team manages these incentive-based capital solutions by participating in various federal and state incentive programs as a principal in projects that have or will generate federal and state tax credits. Our role mitigates tax credit marketing and placement risk for Developers and Sponsors and provides certainty with respect to both the availability and deployment of capital. 

Since 2006, Stonehenge has participated in approximately 300 real estate-based projects in 22 states, which generated $1.5 billion in tax credits. The real estate-based projects include historic rehabilitation tax credits, brownfield tax credits, textile mill tax credits, abandoned building tax credits, transformational mixed use tax credits, redevelopment tax credits and others.  

Stonehenge has been active in the renewable energy finance space since 2009 and provided equity, debt and tax equity financing to utility scale, community, residential and C&I solar developers across the country.  Since 2019, Stonehenge has invested federal tax equity in over 60 solar PV projects across the US that provide enough electricity annually to power over 58,000 homes. The emission avoided by these projects is equal to taking 66,000 cars off the road, avoiding 1,714 railcars of coal burned, or the carbon sequestered by 367,000 acres of US Forest in a year.

Stonehenge maintains close relationships with the major Hollywood studios and a variety of experienced studios.
