Pierre Downing is the Founder and Principal of Kalel Holdings.
Downing knows that housing is about much more than just a roof over someone’s head. Growing up in the public housing developments of Trenton, he saw firsthand the foundational role of affordable and quality housing for families like his own.
Downing got his start in the affordable housing market with the New Jersey Housing Mortgage & Finance Agency, before moving on to LISC NYC as the Community Development Officer in their affordable housing and investments to ultimately serving as Vice President of Affordable Housing at Monadnock Development, one of the most accomplished development firms in the affordable housing space in New York City.
Pierre earned his Bachelor’s degree from Merrimack College with a concentration in Business Economics.
