He has led conversations on public-private partnerships, value-capture mechanisms, and other transit oriented development financing strategies. Throughout his career, Eric has created TOD financing strategies for governmental entities and private developers across North America and in the United Kingdom. He advised on the rehabilitation of Union Depot in downtown Saint Paul and serves as an on-call real estate advisor to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, NJ TRANSIT, and Arlington County, VA.
