Join us at the Museum of Contemporary Art (Toronto) as ULI Toronto and Akin lead a group ‘fishbowl’ discussion on social purpose real estate with a unique and eclectic group of city builders and cultural leaders.
Why is the need for social purpose real estate emerging in the fabric of our growing city and what are the barriers on both sides of the fence?
How can developers create unique partnerships and collaborations with non profits and other community-focused groups to address space needs and provide a social good?
How can a booming real estate market in a fast growing city be leveraged to foster a climate where innovative and necessary but less profitable enterprises and causes can thrive and support communities?
What are some of the successes we can look to in Toronto, and abroad, as we have a frank and open discussion around the impact and future of social purpose real estate in the fabric of our city?
