Deep Dive: The Power of Community Ownership in Commercial Real Estate
Join us on Thursday, June 19, 2025, at the historic DuSable Black History Museum and Education Center for the Juneteenth Deep Dive: The Power of Community Ownership in Commercial Real Estate.
This one-day, high-impact event explores bold and emerging models of community ownership as critical tools for building generational wealth, revitalizing disinvested neighborhoods, and advancing equitable development across the Midwest.
Hosted by the Diverse Developers Conference in collaboration with Community Desk Chicago and Chicago Community Loan Fund, this convening will bring together a dynamic mix of developers, community leaders, policymakers, funders, and impact investors. Together, we’ll explore actionable strategies, transferable models, and collaborative pathways to capital that support community-led commercial real estate development.
💡 Bonus: The first 100 registrants will receive a free copy of Dr. Andre Perry’s newly released book, Black Power Scorecard.
