Hiram C. Brown previously worked for Urban Housing Solutions, one of the largest non-profit developers of affordable/workforce housing in Nashville, as the Manager of Development Finance & Acquisitions. As a member of the organization’s development team, he was tasked with creating a capital markets platform that structured (and procured) over $60 million in capital commitments, tax abatements, and subsidy support for private/public real estate projects. Mr. Brown achieved this goal within less than a 2 year time frame. In addition, Mr. Brown also played a key role in pitching the concept of a $15 million revolving acquisition debt fund to ultra-high net worth individuals and local foundations, with an interest in social impact investing. To date, the fund has received soft commitments from local philanthropic organizations and individual investors.
As a former transactional/litigation attorney and corporate finance professional, Mr. Brown has an extensive 17 year background in the field of real estate and high finance (i.e. investment banking/mergers & acquisitions). He has been involved in everything from asset diligence and financial underwriting to institutional business development. During his legal career, he also stayed firmly rooted in social service, helping numerous at-risk youths and adults to successfully navigate their way through the juvenile and adult criminal justice process.
Mr. Brown graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor of Science degree (in Philosophy) from Towson University, and then went on to obtain a law degree from the Vanderbilt University School of Law. He is currently licensed in the States of Tennessee, Maryland and the District of Columbia.
Lastly, as a proponent of higher education and a crusader for social justice, Mr. Brown has taught college courses as an adjunct college professor…and continues to support various social/educational causes through a Scholarship Fund (named after his late father).
