About Gardner

Gardner Capital is a family-owned company that specializes in the development, investment, and syndication of tax credits for affordable housing, historic rehabilitation, and solar energy projects. We invest in early-stage real estate developers, especially those focused on affordable housing, by providing development capital and long-term partnership. Our mission is to empower new and small businesses to build stronger communities through impactful real estate development.

Gardner Capital, Inc. is an affordable housing and renewable energy developer, investor, and tax credit syndicator with primary regional offices located in St. Louis, Dallas, and Springfield, Missouri.

Originally founded by Mark Gardner in 1992

As an affordable housing development company in Missouri, Gardner Capital has since diversified into three divisions – Development, Solar, and Investment. The company currently operates in more than 20 states with 3 office locations nationwide and has invested more than two billion dollars of equity in affordable housing and renewable energy projects.

Under the direction of Mark’s son, Michael, an attorney who specialized in the LIHTC area during his practice and who joined Gardner Capital as president in 2012, the company is now ranked as one of the premier tax credit development, syndication and management firms in the country. Our ability to manage all aspects of a deal creates enormous efficiencies and cost-savings for our clients and partners.

Gardner Capital’s mission is, and always has been, to develop vibrant, world-class, communities and preserve dynamic, long-term strategic partnerships with our investors, developers, lenders and municipalities.
