Gregory Todd

Co-founded a community garden in an historic Black community. Managed up to 50 volunteers per season, developed programming, wrote grants and managed this unique and innovative garden. Not only do we have 15 raised growing beds, we also have 20 chickens, a greenhouse, a composting center with community food scrap drop-off, an aquaponics system, an orchard and water harvesting system.

Marketed a variety of real estate listings including townhomes, condominiums and coops mostly in Black and Hispanic communities. My biggest project was a 47 unit subsidized new construction coop marketed primarily to people of color. I also sold the most expensive townhouse in the community, which sold for just under $1 million in 2007. The buyers were an inter-racial couple.

Acquired and renovated vacant mostly 1-4 family buildings in distressed neighborhoods in Brooklyn NY for a non-profit church affiliated developer. Worked closely with NYC housing agencies to acquire funding, engaged with architects, bankers and contractors to complete renovations and sold finished properties to area residents. Also marketed subsidized condos for other developers in the community.
