Avery Hall

What Avery Hall does

Avery Hall is a privately held, founder-owned real estate development firm founded in 2013 by Brian Ezra, Avi Fisher, and Jesse Wark, headquartered in Brooklyn with a regional office in Charlotte, NC. The firm specializes in acquiring, designing, and developing ground-up residential and mixed-use real estate assets — primarily transit-oriented, luxury and mixed-income multifamily rental properties alongside boutique condominiums. Its core activities span site acquisition, in-house architectural and zoning feasibility, land assemblage and entitlements, construction management, leasing, asset management, and long-term hold or disposition. The 1.5 million+ GSF, 1,000+ unit portfolio spans Brooklyn (One Boerum Place, 499 President Street, 655 Union Street, 465 Pacific Street, 325 Henry Street, 145 President Street, 316 Bergen Street, 345 Carroll Street, The 88th in Jamaica Queens, plus planned 120 Fifth Avenue and 1550 Bedford Avenue), Charlotte NC (One Noda Park / 3100 N Tryon, Cullman House / 300 East 36th Street, 2801 S Tryon), and Richmond VA (301 West 6th Street, a 550+ unit two-tower project).

The company generates revenue through a hybrid model: (1) one-time condominium sales at projects such as 145 President Street and 325 Henry Street; (2) recurring rental income from stabilized assets including One Boerum Place (converted from condo in 2021), 655 Union, 499 President, The 88th, and others; (3) ground-floor commercial lease revenue (notably grocery-anchored by Sprouts at One Noda Park, Union Market at 499 President, Bank of America, NY Kids Club, Salons by JC, Royal Palms, and others); and (4) asset and property management fees via Avery Residential for joint-venture partners and third-party owners. Luxury rents at One Boerum Place benchmark at $4,000s for studios, ~$6,000 for two-bedrooms, $8,500-$12,000 for three- and four-bedroom units, with affordable lottery units from $2,000-$3,120.

The firm executes almost exclusively through joint-venture partnerships with institutional capital (Gindi Capital, The Brodsky Organization, Declaration Partners, Bridge Investment Group, Aria, Allegra Holdings, SF Holdings) and secures construction and recapitalization debt from TD Bank, M&T Bank, Bank of New York, Affinius Capital, QuadReal / Global Holdings, and Maxim Capital. Avery Hall pursues a horizontal go-to-market — direct residential sales and leasing to end users alongside direct commercial leasing to retail tenants — supplemented by earned-media coverage in Forbes, Bloomberg, the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Commercial Observer, and a ULI Award for Excellence finalist recognition for One Boerum Place. The firm has no disclosed external PE/VC ownership and no public market participation.
