As a real estate attorney at Cohen Liuzzo, Jonah’s practice involves representing for-profit and nonprofit developers in the acquisition, disposition, financing, construction, rehabilitation and development of affordable housing projects across the country. The financing of these projects often involve Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC), tax-exempt bonds and other federal, state and local financing sources.
Prior to joining Cohen Liuzzo, Jonah served as Counsel at the New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC). Here, Jonah guided asset management and transactional teams managing and redeveloping city owned assets across the five boroughs. This frequently involved working with city, state, and federal agencies; private developers; elected officials; and contractors of all sizes.
Preceding his time at NYCEDC, Jonah was an associate at Reed Smith LLP assisting corporate clients, investors, real estate investment trusts and institutions with acquisitions, dispositions, leasing and financing of commercial real estate including: office, student housing communities, manufacturing and industrial properties, healthcare and senior living projects, and medical office buildings. Further, Jonah assisted corporate borrowers, institutional lenders, and private equity firms alike in financing transactions.
Fun fact about Jonah: While in law school, Jonah once saw Charles Barkley working out at a Planet Fitness on a stationary bike and in passing said, “Sup, man.” Family members refuse to believe this actually happened.
