Alexis McSween is the founder and CEO of Bottom Line Construction & Development, LLC (BLCD). A 100% female owned construction & development company, BLCD embodies the grit and grace that characterizes Alexis’ life.
Alexis brings over eighteen years of practical and professional experience—twelve of which are in real estate development and construction, including public works—to building communities. She combines
human centric community development, entrepreneurial problem solving and hard core real estate development and construction management. In doing so, BLCD is able to fulfill market demand, minimize financial risk, leverage transferrable models and maximize municipal incentives while making a broader and lasting impact.
She acted on her passion in real estate in 1994 after she purchased and renovated her first multi-family unit in Queens, NY. She also owned the end-to-end life cycle development and construction of a $7 million 7-unit boutique condominium development named “Baldwin Park” in honor of Harlem poet and author James Baldwin. While earning her Master’s, she worked as a project manager for a WBE* construction and management firm located in Harlem on public projects to tune of ~$4 million.
Alexis also practiced nursing full-time for 13 years—she remains an RN to this day, sometimes donning her RN hat when needed—and was also a first responder having been an EMT with New York City Fire Department. She made her foray into real estate while she served as a nurse in various communities in the Greater New York area.
Alexis has a Master of Science in Real Estate Development, minoring in Construction Management from New York University’s Shack Real Estate Institute. She also holds a Bachelor’s degree in Organizational Management and is affiliated with several professional organizations.
Today, Alexis is leading a $6.3 million Tier 1 construction management project in Harlem—The Victoria, a 28-story mixed use complex. She is also pursuing strategic real estate development and construction opportunities that embrace her community development ethos.
