What’s the big idea?

The future of housing and retail isn’t just about units and square footage—it’s about creating places people actually want to live.
At the NAHB International Builders’ Show, I’ll share how thoughtful ground-floor retail and neighborhood main streets can transform missing middle housing into vibrant, connected communities.

Because people don’t just buy homes—they buy a lifestyle.

Why does it matter?

Today’s buyers are craving walkability, local flavor, and spaces that foster connection. But too often, developments miss the mark—delivering sterile retail or none at all.

We need more than density and design—we need intentional retail strategy, human-centered placemaking, and storytelling that makes a block feel alive.

I’ll show how I partner with developers to curate the right mix of food, retail, and gathering places—so residents don’t just live in a neighborhood, they belong to it.

What’s the takeaway?

This isn’t just about building housing—it’s about building community. The right ground-floor experience can turn a row of homes into a thriving main street.

Come learn how we can deliver the walkable, soulful neighborhoods the market is asking for.
