Real estate affects community outcomes. It affects all of us : individuals and families, companies and organizations, towns and cities. From daycares and soup kitchens to coworking spaces and community housing, it represents one of the largest investments of any household or organization, shapes how our communities are designed and built, and plays a large role in our local and national economy. It’s time we start to see Real estate as more than a passive (and huge) asset class, but as a catalyst for societal change.
