Words from our Partners:

Lightengale (LGG) began serving affordable housing developers in 1999. Over the next 23 years, LGG assisted over 150 affordable housing deals (and one radio station) to come to fruition. We are so pleased that we were able to work with so many wonderful developers, both new and experienced, small and large, to help them provide affordable housing and improve their communities.

Over these years, we learned a lot and navigated the company and our clients’ deals through the Great Recession of 2007-2008 and the Covid Pandemic of 2020-2022. Throughout this time, we have had the privilege of working with some of the finest affordable housing specialists – on our staff, our clients, and in the broader community.
Everyone should have a home they can afford and feel safe in. Ideally, amenities are nearby, and the home is energy efficient. We enjoyed working with so many people who shared our vision of universal affordable housing. While we continue to believe strongly in universal affordable housing, we also believe it is now time to have others lead the way and guide deals through the process. We hope the next generation continues to provide more truly affordable housing for more people.

While we are not taking on any new clients or projects and will be closing our doors once we finish our current deals, we want to let you know how much we have enjoyed working with each and every one of you throughout these years.

All the best to each of you-- Maggy, Larry and Virginia
