WORK HISTORY
of Counsel @Taft Stettinius & Hollister LLP
HOWARD P. ZWEIG is Chair of Taft\'s Higher Education Practice Group. He advises higher education and nonprofit institutions in nearly all areas of law that these institutions encounter, from real estate to contracts to general business, operational and authority issues. He works closely with his clients, which include nationally recognized universities, to understand and respond to their unique challenges and needs. One of the areas in which Howard has significant experience is representing colleges and universities in public-private student housing transactions. He represented four national universities in projects for a facility, a 900-bed facility, a 440-bed facility and a 325-bed facility, respectively. Each project involved a public-private venture, a long-term ground lease and tax-exempt financing. In his real estate practice, Howard provides clients with counseling and representation in a wide range of real estate and transactional matters, including development, acquisition, sale and leasing of commercial, industrial and institutional projects; commercial mortgage loans; construction; and zoning issues. Howard\'s real estate activities have involved numerous development projects in and around Chicago. One example of Howard\'s transactions was the structuring of an air-rights lease transaction for a 53-story mixed use high-rise in Chicago’s Gold Coast, containing a national university on street level and lower floors topped by one of the tallest buildings in the world for a continuing care retirement community. Howard is a long-standing member of the National Association of College and University Attorneys (NACUA), and a founding member and member of the executive committee of NACUA\'s affinty group, Higher Education Real Estate Lawyers. Prior to attending law school, he studied architecture at The Cooper Union and was the recipient of the Henry Adams Award from The American Institute of Architects.
