Reimagined Real Estate

Repurposing underutilized spaces to unlock our future city. We uncover the highest and best use for what's sitting quiet: closed college campuses, office towers, empty ground-floor retail, and undeveloped land. Strategy and stakeholder engagement leads to sales, leases, and creative partnerships that bring value for owners, operators and the whole community.

Testimonials
Elecor Properties

The event, and the building behind it.

Check out the project →
“Working with Collective Impact across our San Francisco portfolio gave us a partner who thinks about both the event and the building behind it. Collective Impact brought creative ideas, strong execution, and a clear sense of how activations support leasing and tenant engagement at properties like One Market Plaza.”
Laura DowekVP, Retail Special Projects, Elecor Properties

Collective Impact has become a vital bridge between the Bay Area Council and the tech community, and it’s leading collaborations on homelessness that bring new partners to the table. Its vision for reimagining how our buildings and campuses serve the region is exactly the kind of thinking we need on our board.”

He led content strategy and stakeholder engagement for Google for Startups Accelerator across 12+ global regions, aligning our internal teams, VC networks, media, and leadership around one narrative. His Ideas to Reality series put founders using advanced technology on camera and generated millions of engagement points. He brought the same authenticity to two $25M Impact Challenges with Google.org, helping us reach the organizations doing the most important work.”
