Principal
Community Three - Real Estate Investment and Development

Lynn Hackney leads Community Three’s acquisition, capital, and market research teams. She leverages her development and investment experience in urban condominium, multifamily, mixed-use and townhome developments. Since 2007, her firm Allyson Capital has managed real estate efforts with an average asset valuation of $50M primarily concentrated in Washington, D.C., with other investments in New York and Miami. Allyson Capital was acquired in 2018 as the financing arm of Community Three.

As the founder of Urban Pace, a development services advisory firm, in 2001, Hackney was the only woman in the area to have had sole ownership of a major real estate corporation, residential or commercial, and capitalized on her firm’s success by selling to a multibillion-dollar company in 2016. Urban Pace is now owned by Berkshire Hathaway.

Hackney’s accomplishments in the real estate industry resulted in her election in 2015 to a two-year term as president of the prestigious D.C. Building Industry Association (DCBIA), the first woman ever to hold that post. In 2016, Hackney was elected to the Board of Directors of Eagle Bank, a publicly traded company based in Bethesda, Maryland. She holds board seats with Johns Hopkins University and University of Miami. She served as Mayor Muriel Bowser’s finance campaign chair resulting in her successful 2018 reelection.

Hackney was recently honored with the CREW annual Woman of Impact Award for 2019. She has a post graduate certificate from Harvard Business School, an MBA from Johns Hopkins Carey Business School, and a BS from Virginia Commonwealth University.
