What Adre does

Adre, LLC is a Black women-owned B-Corp real estate development firm founded in 2020 by Anyeley Hallová and headquartered in Portland, Oregon, with a satellite office in Boston. The company provides full-service real estate development partnerships and real estate advisory services to mission-driven nonprofits, foundations, public-sector agencies, and BIPOC-led community organizations. Adre manages projects from initial visioning and feasibility analysis through fundraising support, design oversight, permitting, financing, construction management, sustainability certification, and post-construction asset management, with a stated goal of directing 30% of project dollars to BIPOC-, women-, and emerging small business-owned enterprises.

The firm builds on specialized expertise in mass timber construction, Net-Zero energy design, LEED certification, trauma-informed design, and eco-district frameworks developed through Hallová's prior 12-year tenure at project^ and her Energy Trust of Oregon Net Zero Fellowship research. Adre holds a registered patent on a Sustainable Performance Information tracking system for properties. Its project portfolio spans affordable and market-rate housing, homeownership, institutional facilities, student housing, mixed-use, office, retail, and industrial developments, with flagship projects including Williams & Russell (100+ affordable homes and a Black business hub on historically Albina community land), Parrott Creek (trauma-informed youth treatment facility), Killingsworth CEC Hub (mass timber creative office building), PRISMID Sanctuary (Net-Zero community facility), and the Meyer Memorial Trust headquarters (ULI Americas Award-winning mass timber office).

Adre generates revenue primarily through development fees, construction management fees, asset management fees, and advisory/consulting fees on multi-year, project-specific engagements, supplemented by an impact-investor channel that offers investment opportunities alongside traditional nonprofit and government clients. The firm is privately held as an Oregon LLC with no institutional venture capital or private equity investment to date; funding to date consists of $50,000 in PitchBlack and Intel RISE prize money and client-side grants/debt facilitation. Headcount is approximately 8–9 employees across development, project management, and operations roles.

Direct peers

• Mercy Housing: National nonprofit affordable housing developer operating across 40+ cities, serving low-income families, seniors, and people who have experienced homelessness. Like Adre, Mercy Housing combines affordable housing development with resident services and equity-focused community building. Comparable mission and operating model, at much greater scale.
• BRIDGE Housing: BRIDGE Housing is a leading nonprofit affordable housing developer on the West Coast with a mission-driven equity focus, similar to Adre. It develops affordable, mixed-income, and mixed-use communities in California, Oregon, and Washington. BRIDGE represents the scaled version of what Adre aspires to become — a regional nonprofit developer combining affordable housing with community equity outcomes.
• Enterprise Community Partners: National nonprofit that combines real estate development (Enterprise Community Development) with lending, policy, and consulting to advance affordable housing and racial equity. Enterprise's integrated approach and BIPOC community focus closely mirror Adre's model, though at vastly greater scale and with greater capital access.
• project^: Adre's founder Anyeley Hallová spent 12 years as a partner at project^ (formerly Project^), delivering $110M+ in award-winning sustainable developments including Framework mass timber and Meyer Memorial Trust HQ. project^ remains the closest direct peer — a Portland-based sustainable real estate developer with overlapping methodology (LEED, mass timber) and similar institutional client base, making it the most natural benchmark for Adre's positioning and trajectory.
• Self-Help Ventures Fund: National CDFI providing financing and development for affordable housing and community facilities in underinvested communities. Self-Help's combination of development, lending, and racial-equity focus mirrors Adre's full-service approach. Both serve mission-driven nonprofit clients and aim to build wealth in disinvested communities.
• Gerding Edlen: Portland-based sustainable real estate developer where founder Anyeley Hallová began her career. Gerding Edlen develops mixed-use, urban infill, and sustainable projects with an institutional client base similar to Adre's nonprofit and foundation clients. Direct lineage peer in terms of methodology, geography, and target customer profile.
• Community Development Partners: Portland-based affordable housing developer and a listed Adre development partner on the Williams & Russell project. CDP focuses on equitable, sustainable, and community-centered affordable housing across the Pacific Northwest, providing a direct peer benchmark for Adre's local affordable housing business.

Broad incumbents

• Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC): National community development financial institution supporting affordable housing, economic development, and community facilities across the U.S. LISC both funds and develops projects in BIPOC communities similar to Adre's portfolio. As a broader incumbent in the community development ecosystem, LISC represents both a peer and a potential capital partner for Adre's projects.
• Habitat for Humanity International: Global nonprofit affordable housing developer focused on homeownership and community development in partnership with low-income families. While much larger and more established, Habitat's homeownership-development model (Williams & Russell's core component) and BIPOC community focus make it a comparable incumbent in Adre's core market segment.

Emerging players

• Lever Architecture: Portland-based architecture firm specializing in mass timber and equity-focused design, listed as Adre's architectural partner on Williams & Russell. Lever previously partnered with founder Anyeley Hallová on the Framework mass timber project. While architecture rather than development, Lever's expertise in mass timber and equity-focused design closely parallels Adre's technical differentiation.
