09-20-2012 - DiCicco, Gulman & Company LLP to host real estate roundtable

DiCicco, Gulman & Company LLP (DGC) will host a real estate roundtable for commercial property owners and developers at which experts will discuss creative tax strategies that may yield significant savings. The event will take place from 7:30 to 10:30 a.m. on September 20th, at the Westin Waltham, 70 3rd Ave. Panelists include real estate advisors and their clients, who will be sharing their advice, insights and experiences related to: * Historic Rehabilitation Credits * Brownfields Credits * Cost Segregation Studies * New Repair vs. Capitalization Regulations. "As advisors, we look for ways to help clients save money," said Donald Greenhalgh, partner in charge of the Real Estate group at DGC. "The topics we will be discussing are very timely. They are creative, in that, you have to be able to recognize certain instances in which they can be used. Our goal is not to simply discuss them in theory, but to bring them to life for the audience with real-life applications. We have paired advisors with clients to share stories of actual scenarios in which these strategies were applied and have been successful." The first panel consists of Donald Greenhalgh, CPA, a partner in the real estate group at DGC, and Rebecca Mattson, principal at Sagebrook Development LLC in Wayland, discussing historic rehabilitation credits. Joining them will be Warren Kirshenbaum, president and CEO of Cherry Tree Group in Newton and John Schwarz, CFO of The Beal Companies, LLP of Boston, to discuss brownfields credits. The second panel includes Jeffrey Hiatt, director of new business development at MS Consultants, LLC of Williamsville, N.Y., and David Morency, senior vice president at The Wilder Companies, Boston, who will be discussing cost segregation studies. They will be followed by Philip Mann, managing director of MS Consultants, LLC, and Jonathan Farrell, CPA, a principal in the real estate group at DGC, who will be discussing the new repair vs. capitalization regulations.
