Camilla Vivaldi Coelho

After graduating with a degree in architecture in Brazil, Camilla Vivaldi Coelho spent five years working on the development of the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympic Village, a residential complex with 31 buildings and more than 3,000 apartments. She oversaw the architectural and landscape projects and coordinated with the construction team to create the first neighborhood in Latin America to earn LEED certification.

She moved to the U.S. to earn an MBA at Babson College before joining Manzo Freeman Development (MFD), a privately-owned commercial real estate firm. Quickly climbing the ranks as the designated architect and construction manager at MFD, Camilla helps lead tenant and building-wide projects at each of the firm’s properties: The Landing at Hudson Mills in Hudson, Mass.; The Landing at Everett Mills in Lawrence, Mass.; and The Landing at One Chestnut in Nashua, N.H.

Camilla excels in building trusted relationships with the firm’s contractors and tenants, and understanding the tenant’s vision for their space and making it a reality. Camilla is trilingual which is especially valuable in communities with a large population of Portuguese, Italian, and Spanish speakers. Camilla prides herself on guiding tenants through the design and construction process, making it as seamless as possible so they can focus on their core business. She is exceptionally detail-oriented and organized, ensuring all of MFD’s projects are delivered on time and under budget.

“Camilla is an incredible asset to the MFD team, and her skills and tireless efforts contribute to our success,” said Alexandra Freeman, managing partner and COO at MFD.
