Diversified Real Estate Services, Inc. provides comprehensive revitalization planning focused on the adaptive reuse of historic and existing buildings in both urban and rural communities.

Many communities today contain vacant or underutilized buildings—both historic and non-historic—that no longer serve their original purpose but remain valuable community assets. Through strategic redevelopment planning, these properties can be repurposed to address local needs for housing, retail, office, and mixed-use development, with a particular emphasis on residential revitalization.

The program is designed to help communities, property owners, and real estate investors identify practical redevelopment opportunities that stimulate economic growth, create jobs, increase property values, and strengthen the long-term vitality of downtowns and neighborhoods. In addition to the rehabilitation and reuse of existing buildings, the program may also incorporate compatible new construction where appropriate to support broader redevelopment goals.

A key component of the initiative is identifying and coordinating available public and private redevelopment incentives. These may include federal and state historic tax credits, New Markets Tax Credits, Low-Income Housing Tax Credits, Opportunity Zone incentives, tax increment financing, grants, and other economic development tools. By leveraging these resources through creative public-private partnerships, communities and developers can reduce redevelopment costs while advancing broader community revitalization objectives.
