Alben Duffie

Managing Partner

Alben Duffie is involved in all aspects of the development process. Mr. Duffie’s broad experience, professional accomplishments and business relationships make him qualified to lead the project development team. Al has held several leadership positions in both the public and private sectors. His career has included serving as Vice President of Consumer Lending for Capital Bank and as a Manager with Miami-Dade County, supporting the General Service Administration.

Al is credited with creating a credit enhancement program to secure working capital and establish bonding capacity for over two hundred minority contractors and subcontractors, enabling them to participate in County’s Mass transit projects. In the Office of Minority Business Development in Miami-Dade County, Al was part of the team that won in the United States Supreme Court, leading to the creation of an ordinance drafter by the staff and approved by the County Commissioners. The ordinance gave minority firms a preference for inclusion on the contracts that were advertised for bid by Miami-Dade County.

Since his retirement from the County, Al has participated in many public/private projects. Some of his representative projects include: Martin Luther King Jr. Station in Miami-Dade County, a 200,000 square foot office facility designed to headquarter three of Miami-Dade County’s major departments, Biscayne Landing, a $1+ billion 200-acre mixed use retail, entertainment and residential complex, Cityview, a $33 million mixed use space encompassing a 1,257-car parking structure, 308 units of moderately priced market-rate housing and 15,800 square feet of retail space.

In order to successfully address the needs of today’s communities, Al integrates the resources and agendas of public and private stakeholders, as well as the capital of outside investors. Al is instrumental in helping RRG’s clients define their revitalization goals, balancing them with economic feasibility, communicating a shared vision to key stakeholders and leading the execution with professionalism and compassion.
