Our Portfolio
From shuttered factories to abandoned schools to threatened historic landmarks — we find the properties that communities need and transform them into permanent assets.
A former auto parts factory converted into 84 permanently affordable housing units and a community fabrication lab. The project returned 3.2 acres to community ownership and created 120 construction jobs for local residents.
Adaptive Reuse & Housing
An abandoned public school campus being reimagined as mixed-income housing, a health clinic, and a community-owned grocery cooperative. The food hub will serve 12,000 residents in a USDA-designated food desert.
Food Justice
A 7-acre former steel foundry slated for community acquisition. The project will create 200 units of permanently affordable housing and a workforce training center focused on green construction trades.
Adaptive Reuse & Housing
A historically Black commercial district threatened by luxury redevelopment. We acquired the block, restored the storefronts to their 1940s character, and created 24 affordable housing units above — permanently protecting a cornerstone of New Orleans' African American heritage.
Historic Preservation
Twelve vacant lots consolidated into a 2.4-acre urban farm and food distribution hub on Chicago's South Side. The farm produces 40,000 lbs of fresh produce annually, distributed free or at cost to 3,000 households.
Food Justice
A 19th-century textile mill complex — a landmark of immigrant labor history — being adaptively reused as permanently affordable artist housing and a cultural center celebrating Lowell's diverse immigrant communities.
Historic Preservation
We work with municipalities, landowners, and community organizations to identify and acquire properties for CLT stewardship. If you know of a site that should be in community hands, we want to hear from you.
