ACQUISITION & ASSEMBLY
Whether a project covers one city lot or thirty, NHH knows how to navigate the process to a successful outcome — negotiating with multiple owners, clearing what’s in the way, and assembling a site that works.
PUBLIC PROCESS
This is a people business before it’s a real estate business. From a casual meeting with a neighbor to a community forum or a public hearing at the city and state level, NHH brings the experience and the patience to see the community’s short-term needs met and its long-term goals achieved.
AFFORDABLE HOUSING
Affordable housing is a primary initiative in nearly every housing project NHH takes on — naturally occurring affordable, tax credit-based and for-sale affordable. Creating housing that meets the short-term needs and long-term goals of the communities NHH works in is what leads the housing side of its work.
CONSTRUCTION
Through its construction company, NHH builds custom and speculative homes across the Twin Cities. Thoughtful design, disciplined construction, and a finished product that holds up long past the closing.
DEVELOPMENT
Creating something from nothing is the most rewarding part of this business. Ground-up multifamily, mixed-use and residential — NHH sources the opportunity, structures the acquisition, leads entitlement and oversees execution through completion.
DIGITAL MEDIA & TECHNOLOGY
Great ideas may start on the back of a napkin, but great projects deserve to be showcased with the best media behind them. Photography, videography, drone work and media production bring a project to life long before it exists.
LIABILITY & RISK
Whether it’s a single-family rental or a large mixed-use development, every project needs its legal liability and risk minimized. NHH manages the ownership and development process from concept to delivery with that in view the entire way.
FINANCING, GRANT WRITING & FUND RAISING
Not simply “creative financing,” but working with municipalities, lenders and investors to build a real financing plan that works. NHH has extensive, hands-on experience assembling public and private funds — tax increment financing, tax credit financing, grant writing, private equity and the debt markets.
DISTRESSED ASSETS
NHH was negotiating with banks and asset managers to acquire properties long before “short sale” was a commonplace term. To this day NHH still acquires through the bank REO, foreclosure and sheriff’s sale process.
BUSINESS STRATEGY
Every real estate project is a startup that must become part of the fabric of its community to succeed. Each one gets a business plan and a marketing strategy built around the goals and initiatives of that specific development.
