Nursel Riley

With over 25 years of experience as an educator in chemistry, physics, and environmental science, I bring a unique, analytical perspective and a deep commitment to sustainability to the world of commercial real estate. My global career—spanning the United States, Turkey, the UAE, and Singapore—has equipped me with a nuanced understanding of how built environments influence human behavior, community well-being, and long-term outcomes.

Growing up off-grid instilled in me a lifelong passion for sustainable living. I view commercial real estate not just as a business opportunity, but as a powerful platform to shape healthier, more connected, and environmentally responsible communities. My goal is to help clients and investors identify opportunities that align with both economic and ecological value—whether through adaptive reuse, green building practices, or walkable, multigenerational developments.

As a former curriculum coordinator and consultant, I excel at translating complex ideas into actionable strategies. I’m now channeling that skill set into helping businesses, developers, and municipalities make informed, forward-thinking real estate decisions.

I thrive on solving complex challenges and am driven by a mission to leave a meaningful legacy—one that supports future generations through thoughtful, sustainable development.

I’m eager to collaborate with like-minded professionals who believe that commercial real estate can be both profitable and purposeful.
