About CCA

Whatever It Takes

Established in 2001, Chesapeake Community Advisors is one of the nation’s leading community development consulting firms, having served as a development consultant for more than 90 developments in 15 states. In that time, our development work has included affordable multifamily and market rate rental, historic renovations, affordable homeownership and multi-use developments.

Being a transaction-based firm, CCA specializes in structuring and developing low-income, historic, new market tax credit and federally financed projects. In our role as developers and owners of affordable residential properties, we bring a unique understanding to the development process for both new construction and preservation.

Whether providing our services individually or acting as a turn-key developer, our diverse team of experienced financial, development, syndication and disposition specialists will work with you to complete your projects on schedule – and on budget.

What Others Are Saying About Us

“I have worked with the principals of Chesapeake since the inception of Cinnaire in 1993. They have proven to be the most highly skilled and knowledgeable group of professionals we have ever worked with in this industry. Their creative and entrepreneurial approach to real estate development and finance have made them the number one choice for Cinnaire to assist us in complex and difficult real estate transactions. The use of Chesapeake in our Housing Tax Credit Year 15 disposition strategies has produced results for our investors that were beyond their expectations and has been a model we use in all of our disposition strategies. They are real estate experts extraordinaire with the added benefit of being socially minded. They not only care about the investor and owner benefits but also take into account a positive outcome for the residents.”
