CPP Differentiators
Enduring Partnerships
Building affordable housing is a complex business. Our clients require an equity partner who understands the intricacies of these transactions. They also need a partner with the flexibility and leadership to close the deals. We offer both, which is why developers choose to partner with us again and again.
Industry-Leading Capabilities
Over the years, we’ve invested in every type of affordable housing property, helping our partners finance their projects using a wide range of tax credits and debt structures. It’s this extensive experience that allows us to provide developers with one of their most valued assets: predictable closings.
