Skunkworks Meeting: Central City Commercial Real Estate Financial Stress

We’ve started a skunkworks project to better understand the downstream impacts from potential commercial real estate financial woes related to the office vacancies and other pressures in the years since the COVID 19 pandemic. Our goal is to understand how the City may be able to help the region avoid the worst outcomes for community and economic resiliency, and also to begin to map out where the City might be able to develop plans to leverage the opportunities for new placemaking and investments in different kinds of projects (and housing!) that may arise in a moment like this.
