Project REAP adds board member with Newark ties.

Four members were elected to Project REAP‘s board, the leading initiative nationwide to advance diversity, equity and inclusion in the commercial real estate industry. Among those new members is one with ties to Newark.
Allan Suarez, a REAP 2017 graduate is principal and COO of Harlem-based All Renovation Construction LLC, and co-founder of Newark Foundry Workspaces. His appointment, along with the others, was announced July 14 and effective May 2022.
In Harlem, All Renovation Construction is a full-service general contractor for large-scale institutional, commercial and residential projects. Suarez has been with the company since 2012.  Newark Foundry Workspaces – launched in 2017 – began with the revitalization of a blighted mansion dating back to the gilded age. At both organizations, Project REAP said that Suarez is responsible for establishing new relationships with city economic developers, end users and financial institutions to bring business interests together into successful real estate developments.
