Lisa Serafin Brings Development Leadership Experience to Athena
Lisa Serafin is President of Athena Development, which seeks to create housing that benefits communities and addresses housing supply challenges.
Serafin has more than 20 years of diverse experience in real estate development, including complex, mixed-use projects with significant residential, commercial and public spaces. Her areas of expertise include predevelopment strategy, financial feasibility, infrastructure, and government relations/approvals.
Before leading Athena, Serafin was a founding principal of Redgate Real Estate, a real estate services and investment company established in 2010. She led the firm’s strategy and institutional practices and was part of the leadership team responsible for day-to-day operations and the strategic, financial and investment planning activities of the company.
Serafin initiated Redgate’s RISE women’s affinity group and sat on the firm’s standing DEIB Task Force. She has served on numerous nonprofit and civic boards and commissions, including MassHousing, and served as president of CREW Boston.
These are just a few reasons Lisa Serafin is among the Boston & New England Connect CRE 2026 Women in Real Estate Award winners. The award honors the achievements and inspirational stories of women who have reached respected leadership positions and taken on mentorship roles.
