    Introduction

    Talia Burghard is an associate in Nixon Peabody’s Affordable Housing and Real Estate practice group. She works with developers, landowners, and investors in all aspects of commercial real estate transactions.

    Practice Areas

    Industries

    Real Estate

    /My focus

    General Real Estate

    My practice focuses on assisting clients with various aspects of general real estate transactions. This includes the acquisition, disposition, and leasing of commercial real estate; sale-leaseback transactions; property diligence review; real estate joint ventures; and land use and zoning matters. I also assist with renewable energy projects and serve the real estate needs of our energy clients.

    Affordable Housing

    I work with owners and developers in connection with the acquisition, disposition and financing of multifamily affordable housing projects, including projects financed with low-income housing tax credits and historic tax credits.

    /Looking ahead

    The need for affordable housing continues to grow and many federal and state programs are devoting new resources to the development of these essential projects. As we adjust to remote work environments, I expect new housing markets to emerge.
