Consulting
Rockabill acts in a consulting role from the outset of project concept through development, financing, construction and conversion. We lead the analysis and structuring of transactions, formulation of the development team, preparation of funding applications to Federal, State and City agencies, securing construction/permanent debt, subsidy resources and equity financing, leading closings and conversions. Rockabill is known for our commitment to seeing each project through, we remain involved in each project through to the end.
Development
Rockabill provides development services and joint venture arrangements for organizations that choose to rely more heavily on Rockabill’s experience and financial capacity to attract subsidy, debt, and equity sources of funding. Our long track record of successfully managing the development process, executing the financing plan, facilitating community and resident relations, and renovation of thousands of units provides significant comfort both to government agencies and financing institutions. Our unique appreciation of the nonprofit community allows us to be flexible in structuring the correct arrangement for each individual situation.
Affiliates
Since our founding in 2007, Rockabill has continuously sought to innovate, expanding and developing our service offerings to meet the changing needs of our clients and partners. In response to needs we saw in the broader industry, Rockabill has worked closely with partners to develop affiliate companies that provide related services, which we believe augment our own.
