Stronger Communities

By restoring value hidden in plain sight and providing “whole life” cost benefits for our customers, Live/Work Lofts support vibrant, thriving communities.

Transform Emerging Blights – Vacant buildings become community enhancing resources

“Real Affordability” – Our buildings provide meaningful “Whole Life Cost” reductions to consumers. By paying one price to live, work, and commute a household can save $2,000 (+/-) per month

Stabilize and Increase Tax Base – Full occupancy that adapts to changing demand future proofs municipal revenues for police, fire and schools

Support Entrepreneurial Diversity – 18.7% of employer businesses are minority owned, 20.9% are women owned, 5.7% are veteran owned. As whole life cost is the biggest impediment to taking risks, our communities facilitate and maximize success for our customers.

Preserve History – Discarding buildings is wasteful. We allow yesterday’s best to become tomorrow’s best

Prevent Future Obsolescence – Buildings that adapt to changing demand make the safest investments and most secure communities

All Are Welcome – Dual use enables superior handicap accessibility versus traditional apartment communities

Extend Infrastructure Life – 24 hour building utilization extends the capacity and functional life of existing municipal improvements
