Andrea Gift Allan has joined Pretium as Managing Director, Real Estate, to lead the firm’s affordable housing investments across the United States. In this role, Ms. Allan will partner with internal and external stakeholders to develop and manage Pretium’s affordable housing portfolio, in alignment with the firm’s key business and social impact goals. This will include serving as a strategic advisor to Progress Residential’s affordable housing team as they engage with residents, local housing authorities, and community partners to meet persistent and growing affordable housing demand in markets across the country.
