54. How does the overall cost of a typical project like this compare with what it
might cost to undertake equivalent new construction?
By putting the proper incentives in place,
new construction cannot compete with the
value of historic renovation.
New construction may appear at the onset
to be less expensive than historic
renovation because the labor costs comprise
a much larger portion of the historic
renovation construction budget.
New construction labor costs are typically
about 50 percent of total costs, whereas the
labor component of historic renovation is
closer to 60 to 70 percent.
But you have to evaluate the complete
financial structure, and when you do that
historic renovation creates greater value.
55. The federal government provides a “Historic Renovation Tax Credit” of up to 26 percent of the total
renovation costs.
State of Ohio offers additional historic preservation credits of 25 percent or more. Because many of
these buildings are located in areas that have suffered considerable decay and economic blight, they will
often meet the requirements.
For participation in the Federal New Markets Tax Credit program. The NMTC can generate additional
credits equal to 39 percent of the renovation costs and are often layered on top of the historic credits.
Some quick math will tell you that adds up to 90 cents plus on the dollar of public equity contribution in
the form of state and federal tax credits — just for starters.
57. The EB-5 immigrant investor category
allows a person and his or her family
members to get a green card (i.e. live
permanently in the US) by investing a
certain amount of money in the U.S. and
creating or saving 10 U.S. jobs. The
minimum amount of money to invest is
$500,000 if you invest in a rural or high
unemployment area. Otherwise you must
invest at least $1,000,000.
