About Kadre Architects

Kadre Architects is a driver and catalyst in design leadership for social cause. Founded by Nerin Kadribegovic, the firm reflects the architect’s relentless drive, heightened creative thinking and indomitable forte for dissolving complex obstacles in service to significant social and humanitarian change.

Details Of Their Qualifying Buildings

The Leyton team worked with Kadre Architects on three separate projects in the Los Angeles area. Once run-down motels, now offer shelter to those experiencing homelessness.

The Alvarado is a 43-unit community space that offers temporary housing support offices dedicated to helping people transition out of homelessness. This property spans over 20,000 square feet and offers 172 beds to families in need.

The Woodlands is a residence for single mothers and children experiencing homelessness. This project, which has 100 units on the property, is in collaboration with the charity Hope the Mission which looks to end poverty across the country.

The Sierra is a 38-unit interim housing facility on a four-acre property. Its design is focused on healthy living, with a kitchen that serves three meals a day and spaces for kids to play outside.

The Benefit

Through the 179D Energy Efficient Commercial Building Property Deduction, Kadre was able to claim substantial tax savings of over $250,000 for the three former motels.

The §179D Property Deduction provides commercial building owners, and designers of buildings owned by public entities and designers of tax-exempt entities the opportunity to claim a tax deduction for installing qualifying energy-efficient buildings.

Leyton is an international consulting firm that helps businesses leverage financial incentives to accelerate their growth and achieve sustainable performance. In this case, the Leyton team went the extra mile for the Kadre CPAs by providing direct assistance on various tax forms.
