hello,

i’m nicolle cortorreal

I'm an independent consultant specializing in construction project management, architecture, real estate development, and planning. I've had the pleasure of working across vibrant urban hubs like New York City, Los Angeles, and the San Francisco Bay Area. My approach is friendly and collaborative, and I'm passionate about delivering innovative projects that shape our modern landscape.

My career began as a junior architect in New York City, where I developed a strong foundation in sustainable design and planning. Later, I moved to San Francisco and transitioned into general contracting, forming strong bonds with clients and consultants along the way. Since then, I've returned to NYC, bringing with me a wealth of experience for new and continued partnerships.

Over the past decade, working in the tech sector has allowed me to connect with industry investors and pivot my expertise to help start-ups at the pre-seed level with strategic development for their products and business, alongside my core services.
