Real Estate Development
What We Do
NRCDC has its sights set on lofty goals of revitalizing the inner city, while providing affordable housing (both single-family and multi-family) as well as commercial, economic, and business development projects.
NRCDC’s Real Estate Development city-wide program caters to families, professionals, single parents, and low to moderate-income residents.
How We Help Our Communities.
We remove the stigma attached to the concept of Affordable Housing. Everyone deserves fair, affordable, and decent housing. Whether a single family home or multi-family complex, we are committed to economic development through real estate.
