In this powerful episode of The Pitch Black Podcast, Stephen Green is joined by Anyeley Hallová, founder and CEO of ⁠Adre⁠—a socially responsible real estate development firm based in Portland, Oregon.

Anyeley shares her journey from a career in traditional development to founding a company rooted in equity, sustainability, and community repair. From earning degrees at Cornell, MIT, and Harvard, to developing landmark projects like the Meyer Memorial Trust headquarters and now the Williams & Russell Project, Anyeley has made it her mission to reshape the built environment for good.

Together, they talk about what it means to be a developer who centers justice, why she wrote A Kids Book About Real Estate Development, and how cities like Portland can adopt a pro-housing stance that works for everyone.
