REVA Development Corporation

REVA - Real Estate Ventures for the Arts In support of artist, families and small business, REVA incorporates a comprehensive approach to housing and economic development within neighborhood revitalization programs. Our Mission is to advance development and preservation of affordable spaces for artists, families and small business. We achieve our mission by providing capable support in real estate development, asset management, consulting, and community building programs. Our experienced team identifies financing opportunities and coordinates the rehabilitation or new construction of projects in targeted communities. Our unique focus on arts-based development can be in support of existing activities, or an agent for holistic community growth; promoting professional development of local artists, vitality of small businesses, and a higher quality of life through housing, safety, and education. We are most often attracted to high-density mixed-use urban and cultural arts districts, which is a highly specialized niche in the real estate development industry. In addition to our roles as developer, owner, and manager, REVA can also serve as a consultant to a myriad of private and community-based organizations seeking a resourceful development team for developing housing, work space for artists, performance centers, and cultural arts districts. Established in 2004, we operate under Section 501(c)3 of the IRS Federal Tax law and maintains a Community Housing Development Corporation (CHDO) designation as outlined in HUD Federal Regulations. As a nonprofit that relies on earned income as well as contributions, REVA seeks relationships with like-minded corporate, philanthropic institutions, local, state and federal agencies, via public/private partnerships in support of a common goal; removal of slum and blight to achieve healthy, safe and sustainable neighborhood revitalization.
