Founded in 2020, Adre is a leader in socially responsible real estate development. Anyeley Hallova, CEO and founder, was inspired to start the company after leading the development of the Meyer Memorial Trust Headquarters as a former partner at project^.

The project allowed her to deeply engage with themes of social equity and environmental sustainability, compelling her to move away from conventional market-rate developments. It also drove her to embed equity-focused values into her work.

The partnership between Self Enhancement Inc. (SEI) and Community Development Partners (CDP) has resulted in transformative projects that provide affordable housing and essential services to underserved communities in Portland. By combining SEI’s expertise in youth development and community support with CDP’s experience in real estate development, the collaboration has created sustainable, mixed-use developments that promote long-term success for residents.

A key initiative is Alberta Alive, which revitalizes historically Black neighborhoods in North and Northeast Portland. Within this initiative, the Ronnie Herndon Building and the Paul and Geneva Knauls Building provide affordable housing for low-income families and veterans. Another major project, the Strong Family Apartments, is a four-story, 75-unit building set to open in 2026, honoring a longtime North Portland family while addressing critical housing needs.

Additional efforts include The Dr. Darrell Millner Building, offering 63 affordable housing units with on-site services to support displaced residents. The project reflects SEI and CDP’s shared commitment to social equity, ensuring that development goes beyond housing to create thriving communities with access to vital resources, economic opportunities, and lasting stability for residents.
