Track B Project Review: Namit Raisurana & Cheryl Lipang Lima

8:30 am–10:00 am
Join us for HAC’s Developer Pathway Program (DPP) Track B project review, where scaling, BIPOC and/or women developers can present and get feedback from HAC’s network housing industry experts – like you!
Namit Raisurana
Namit is a Bay Area real estate investor and developer transitioning from a 20-year tech career into full-time development, with a focus on small-scale urban infill and missing middle housing. He's also exploring proptech concepts to help developers and cities better understand zoning and development feasibility. His project includes two parallel efforts: a three-unit stacked condo development in Berkeley and an early-stage communal living model — both focused on ownership-oriented missing middle housing through efficient design and disciplined feasibility.
Cheryl Lipang Lima
Cheryl is the founder of Terra Nova Design Co., a Bay Area residential design practice, and is now expanding into architect-led development focused on attainable housing. Her project, Revere Avenue, is a hillside single-family infill development in Oakland designed as a high-performance, climate-responsive home using panelized construction and Passive House–informed strategies. The ~1,700–1,800 sf, 3bd/2ba market-rate home is intended as a pilot to refine her approach to entitlement, capital structuring, and high-performance delivery on constrained urban sites — with a longer-term goal of applying the model to missing middle housing across the East Bay.
