The Independent highlights an antidote to the loneliness and lack of connection that has caused a nationwide public health crisis. Third places are the solution. 🌟 Third places are the spaces beyond our homes and offices, where we engage with others, form new connections, and foster familiarity and belonging. Examples of third places are: Coffee shops ☕️ Libraries 📚 Salons 💇♀️ Bars🍹 Gyms 🏋️♂️ Museums 🏛️ Restaurants 🍽 Theaters 🎭 Parks 🌳 We’re pleased to be included in The Independent’s article for our work in partnership with the City of San Francisco investing in the cultivation of new third places downtown. SF New Deal is at the forefront of transforming empty spaces into engaging hubs of activity and connection. From immersive art exhibitions 🖼 to beloved local bakeries 🥐, #VacanttoVibrant is not just revitalizing our city's landscape but rekindling the community spirit that defines San Francisco. 💖🌉 Check out the full article and visit the Vacant to Vibrant pop-ups for a dose of third space goodness https://lnkd.in/ga3Q-eBY

Principal Jared H. Press spoke as a panelist at Project for Public Spaces’ 4th International Placemaking Week conference, highlighting how Prince George's County, Maryland is using a vision grounded in placemaking to drive equitable economic development along the Blue Line Corridor. The County adopted a forward-thinking approach by identifying key public investments in multimodal infrastructure, public anchor institutions, and placemaking through programming and activation to attract private investment in dense, mixed-use, transit-oriented development. Panelists highlighted how, unlike urban settings, suburbia often lacks natural spaces for community gatherings, making it challenging for residents to envision effective placemaking. Yet, the demand for such initiatives is strong. The successful implementation of such long-term initiatives requires a clear and coherent vision that serves as a consistent reference point that can endure turnover in administrations, agency staff, and market cycles. Engaging the community in these environments requires innovative strategies and a deep understanding of their unique needs. While the full realization of the Blue Line Corridor vision will take years, the early successes and lessons learned provide a valuable blueprint for other suburban jurisdictions aiming for equitable economic development. #EconomicDevelopment #Placemaking #TransitOrientedDevelopment #CommunityEngagement

Revitalizing Properties with Purpose When we acquire a new property, our mission is simple: always to add value. We start with essential renovations, from upgrading roofs and asphalt to painting walls and transforming large spaces into functional units. But it’s not just about physical improvements—we engage with our tenants to learn what they need and reach out to the community to understand what they want to see. As the work progresses, we welcome new tenants and organize events like markets, fairs, small business gatherings, rare car expos, holiday celebrations, and more. Our goal is to breathe new life into properties that were once community hubs—introducing fresh businesses, entertainment, restaurants, and more. #PropertyRevival #CommunityDriven #BuildingWithPurpose
