Episode 58: Socially Responsible Development with Colleen Carey
Colleen Carey was a young student when she was inspired by a professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He introduced her to the idea of socially responsible development, stating that real estate is about "creating a terrarium for people to live in and as developers, there's a social responsibility to do that right," a philosophy that resonated deeply with her.
In 1993, Colleen noticed that suburbs were clamoring for affordable housing and nobody was solving this need, so she went on to start her own company, The Cornerstone Group - a full-service real estate company.
Listen in on Colleen's focus on creating value for communities, and how she stresses the importance of combining creativity while navigating projects.
