Welcome to Fireside Chats with the Impact Guild where we are collecting and sharing stories of social innovation. You’ll hear the journeys of entrepreneurs, creatives and change makers who are bringing ideas to life. These are raw conversations where together we are asking questions, experimenting and exploring intersections. We hope by listening in, you’ll join the conversation.
In this conversation we sit down with Ramiro Gonzales, managing partner of Urban Lazarus Real Estate Partners which invests in small-scale inner-city real estate projects to advance neighborhood revitalization, accomplish community objectives and provide partnership opportunities for property owners. We discuss themes of gentrification with justice, public and private sector solutions, and two interesting new ventures that Ram is spearheading around the creative use of real estate to address problems around the issues of urban density and affordable housing.
