Danielle Robins

As a Vice President at U3, she focuses on working with universities and non-profit organizations to plan and implement complex real estate projects in partnership with the private sector. She brings over 10 years of experience in strategic real estate planning and development, land monetization, and financial analysis. Danielle has worked with a wide range of clients including colleges and universities such as Lafayette College and the University of North Dakota and non-profit organizations such as the Brooklyn Public Library to negotiate real estate transactions with private partners to develop student housing, retail, commercial space, and mixed-use development. She also serves as a staff member to the Terrapin Development Company, a real estate development venture co-owned by the University of Maryland and the UMD College Park Foundation and is an integral part of the U3 team leading the redevelopment efforts at Hazelwood Green, a 178-acre former steel mill that will become a new center of innovation in Pittsburgh. Danielle’s work is informed by her prior experience at the Port of San Francisco, where over a multi-year internship in college and graduate school she was exposed to the world of public-private partnerships while working collaboratively with the city and developers on real estate projects that redefined the San Francisco waterfront.

Danielle holds a BA in Urban Studies from the University of California, Berkeley and a Masters of City and Regional Planning with a Certificate in Real Estate Development from the University of Pennsylvania.
