Neal Morris
Neal spent seven years as a student at Tulane University where he racked up a History degree, a Business Administration degree, a Law degree, and many, many thousands of dollars of debt. He worked briefly for a real estate developer in Atlanta before founding Redmellon, the oddly named firm that enables him to practice his calling as a “Preservationist Developer.”
In 2009 Neal became a Loeb Fellow at the Graduate School of Design at Harvard University and from 2011 – 2014 he was adjunct faculty at the Tulane University School of Architecture. He loves assembling the team that finances and rehabilitates historic structures. He spends a lot of time thinking and writing about blight elimination and neighborhood redevelopment, and he lectures on these subjects to anyone who will listen and often to those who won’t.
