The New York City Housing Authority’s Real Estate Development Department (REDD) is charged with leading and structuring real estate transactions that will address over $15 billion in capital needs and overseeing the long-term stewardship of NYCHA property. REDD will utilize the following three tools to generate the necessary revenue:

1) Permanent Affordability Commitment Together (PACT) – PACT will use US 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 Managing Director of Strategic Operations and the Vice President of Asset Management, the Senior Project Manager will manage a portfolio of assets repositioned for the preservation and creation of public and affordable housing, respectively. In this role, the Senior Project manager will produce the financial analysis of housing development projects on property owned by NYCHA, preservation projects to rehabilitate and preserve NYCHA-owned public housing, and other NYCHA Real Estate Development activities.

The Senior Project Manager will work on a team with technical knowledge related to real estate development, public housing, architecture, planning, and urban design. The Senior Project Manager will be responsible for implementing asset management strategies crucial to achieving NYCHA Real Estate Development goals. The key responsibilities for this position include, but are not limited to the following:
