NYCHA’s Real Estate Development Department (REDD) is charged with leading and structuring real estate transactions that will address over $15 billion in capital needs. REDD will utilize the following three tools to generate the necessary revenue:
- Direct, coordinate and conduct operational activities for the department, providing strategy, tracking, and oversight for data reporting, contracts, budget formulation and tracking, technology needs, training, and all personnel matters.
- Act as liaison between REDD and other departments within NYCHA and outside agencies, including HPD, HDC, DCP, EDC, and HUD. Disseminate information from the various areas of the agency to the Department and vice versa. Information could include, but is not limited to: new data entry rules, policy initiatives, regulations, audit guidelines, internal protocols, program and reporting requirements between REDD and other departments, etc.
- Strategically review current administrative practices and provide recommendations on process improvements, technology practices and other areas that will improve the daily operations of the department.
- Coordinate, on behalf of REDD, with other NYCHA departments to develop protocols that will streamline and expedite New Construction and Preservation processes and fill operational gaps. Create and disseminate SOPs, both within the department and to other departments that are involved in REDD’s work.
- Lead budget formulation and submission process; track and report on spending.
- Manage all contracts, including tracking task orders, invoices, and payments.
- Coordinate responses to special requests that are directed to the Department, i.e. FOIL requests, data requests, Agency Annual Plan updates, etc. (requests from Comms, PTAD, Intergov).
- Prepare materials for Council hearings and other interactions with elected officials.
- Assess training and other professional development needs of staff and provide recommendations for courses, conferences, and events to facilitate the continued growth of the team.
- Assist in all personnel matters for the department, including providing support to SVP and the leadership team in the interview process as well as closely coordinating with NYCHA Human Resources and NYCHA Finance/Budget on hiring needs. Assist in setting up interviews, attending interviews with appropriate staff, conducting reference calls, and ensuring compliance with new EEO policies.
- Responsible for all administrative filings on behalf of the department (i.e. financial disclosure, record subject matter list, etc.).
- Develop appropriate policies and processes to enhance compliance methodologies, especially with the HUD Monitor Agreement.
- Ensure timely and accurate uploads of all applications in PIC (i.e. Section 18, Part 200).
1) Permanent Affordability Commitment Together (PACT) – PACT will use U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Section 8 programs to fund renovations and convert public housing (Section 9) apartments to permanently affordable housing. NYCHA plans to convert 62,000 apartments over 10 years, which will address $12.8 billion of capital needs.
2) Build to Preserve (BTP) – New mixed-income buildings will be constructed on some underutilized spaces across the NYCHA portfolio. NYCHA expects to address $2 billion in capital need across approximately 10,000 apartments.
3) Transfer to Preserve (TTP) – NYCHA will sell a portion of its estimated 80 million square feet of unused development rights (“air rights”) to adjacent privately-owned sites. TTP will generate $1 billion for capital repairs at adjacent developments.

Under the direction of the Senior Vice President for Real Estate, the Managing Director will be responsible for all areas of operations within REDD. The Managing Director will play a key role in developing and managing the implementation of the division’s operational and administrative practices and policies.
