About Us

CCL was formed in April 2002 by former executives of National Partnership Investments Corp. (“NAPICO”): its President and Chief Operating Officer, its Director of Syndication and its Director of Acquisitions.  The combined affordable housing experience of these executives exceeds 50 years.  In 2001, NAPICO was ranked the 9th largest landlord in the United States by National Real Estate Investor Magazine, with ownership interests in over 70,000 affordable housing units located throughout 48 states and territories.  Since 1988 NAPICO raised approximately $1.4 billion in tax credit equity for affordable housing investments located throughout the United States including its territories.  In March 2002 NAPICO’s assets were acquired by Apartment Investment and Management Company (AIMCO), the largest publically traded multifamily real estate investment trust in the United States (NYSE: AIV); CCL retained NAPICO’s active syndication business and since inception has invested over $1 billion in  affordable housing communities nationwide.
