Affordable Housing

I have worked with Valerie for many, many years and never make a site decision without her expertise. Kretchmer Associates understand market dynamics and how to measure need and demand. They are thoughtful, detail-oriented, and big-picture smart.

We love working with Kretchmer Associates. They’re incredibly thorough in their research and good at communicating with us as the client. We know we can put trust in their work, and as developers, nothing is more important.

Kretchmer Associates has been our “go to” firm throughout my more than 25 years as a developer of affordable housing for the simple reason that I know I can always rely on Kretchmer Associates to deliver on a timely basis accurate and thoroughly researched market studies that have justifiably earned the respect of lenders and investors. I would never consider using another firm unless I had to.

I’ve used Kretchmer Associates for every for-profit and tax credit project that I’ve done in Illinois and Indiana over the past 5 years. Their work isn’t full of the typical ‘fluff’ that others charge for, but instead drills down to exactly what I need to know to design senior projects that work. I highly recommend Kretchmer Associates for any type of senior project, whether independent living, assisted living or memory care.

Without a doubt, the success we have experienced in developing our affordable assisted living platform is in no small measure attributable to Kretchmer Associates. Their market analysis on a state-wide level guided us to certain markets, while their insights into particular sites helped define our success. We are working to develop our tenth Silver Birch Living community in the State of Indiana. Valerie and her team are directly linked to that progress.

We can’t stress enough how appreciative we are that Kretchmer Associates came along with all the last-minute changes to the project, and yet still sent us a market study that reads as if the project had been set from day one.
