What is regenerative real estate development, and how is it different from conventional development? Investors who seek to fund regenerative projects should understand this emerging field because it’s so important to reducing financial risk and achieving expected returns.  

In this episode of the Blue Dot Project Podcast, guest Neal Collins talks about regenerative real estate development with host David Vranicar. 

For impact investors, we explore how regenerative real estate development differs from conventional processes in five key areas: community involvement in the planning process, the focus on long-term success, the goal of regenerating nature rather than just protecting it, and the challenges and opportunities of working with a variety of funding sources.
