Commercial Real Estate and Impact Investing

We intend to showcase that Commercial Real Estate (CRE) can and should become an impact investment asset class. The presented ongoing projects prove this to be a reality internationally. We hope to inspire the SOCAP community to join the change-making process by being exposed to this new way of investing in CRE, where profit and impact go hand-in-hand. This new status quo allows wealth to keep growing while at the same time empowering communities to lift themselves out of poverty through access to quality housing, financial inclusion, and wealth creation. The ultimate goal of “traditional” investors is to make money work for itself and grow. The presented models prove that this cycle does not exclude impact and its path to “work for itself and grow.” The more significant the investment, the bigger the profit, and the more powerful the impact.
