Monarch Private Capital Closes New Historic Preservation Fund

Fosters Sustainable Development of Communities by Restoring Historically Significant Buildings

Monarch Private Capital, a leading tax credit equity and ESG investment firm, is pleased to announce the closing of Monarch Federal Historic Preservation Fund II (Fund II). The $30 million federal historic tax credit fund provides investment in historic rehabilitation projects that will generate five-year federal historic tax credits in 2021 and 2022. In addition to preserving historically significant properties, the investments in these properties promote sustainability, the revitalization of neighborhoods and encourage economic growth within their local communities.

Investors in Fund II are financial institutions interested in community development and economic returns while also managing their effective tax rate. Fund II targets properties that generate and qualify for five-year federal historic tax credits. The footprint of the fund is largely Midwestern and Southeastern regions of the United States with a diversified mix of assets. ONB Community Equity LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Old National Bank (ONB), is a lead investor in Fund II. Fund II will call on ONB’s tax credit group’s relationships and experience within the marketplace to secure a number of the historic tax credit projects that comprise the fund’s investments. Both Monarch and ONB recognize the value of historic tax credit equity to preserve historic buildings. 

“Monarch created Fund II with the view of repurposing older properties into vibrant and renewed contributors to local economies,” said Rick Chukas, Managing Director of Federal Historic Tax Credits at Monarch Private Capital. “We commend the collaboration of our investor and developer partners and appreciate the shared commitment to preserve the historic fabric of our nation.”
