Noel Henderson-James Email and Phone Number

I am an affordable housing development and finance professional with more than two decades of experience originating, structuring, closing and developing affordable housing. Over my career, I have participated in the syndication of more than $500 million of LIHTC investments and the development of more than 5,000 affordable and mixed-income units. In March 2022, I joined Kalel Holdings’ founder Pierre Downing to create Kalel Companies, a new affordable housing and mixed-income development platform that will build upon Pierre’s prior success and expand our ability to serve the affordable housing community in New York, New Jersey and beyond. My most recent experience includes roles as Development Director with Laurel Street Residential, where I was responsible for the day-to-day management of a $200 million 1,000-unit new construction pipeline in Durham, NC. Prior to that, I was responsible for originating, structuring and closing more than $500 million in LIHTC investments in New York City, Boston, Philadelphia and Washington, DC with Raymond James Affordable Housing Investments and Richman Housing Resources. I began my career in affordable housing with the National Equity Fund and then worked as Development Coordinator with Michaels Development Company, both in Chicago, and after that spent four transformative years as a Project Manager with Gulf Coast Housing Partnership in New Orleans post-Hurricane Katrina.
