Andrew Pierson, Director of Real Estate Development

Andrew splits his time between real estate and the administration of PCF Development.  On the real estate side Andrew’s responsibilities include all pre-construction activities such as property and funding acquisition, grant writing, zoning approvals, working with architects & engineers, etc and assembling LIHTC deals.  Andrew also works closely with the Communications, Resident Engagement and Admin team to oversee the operations and outreach efforts at PCF Development.

Andrew feels incredibly fortunate to be able to see the impact that PCF has on the community – even from the office.  Working to transform distressed communities is incredibly hard work but seeing new housing go up, families push their strollers down the sidewalk and former crime hot spots turn into places to live and work makes it easy to come to work every day.

On any given weeknight or weekend you can find Andrew working on his house or spending time with his wife and three daughters!
