The projects discussed at the Nov. 17 event in the conversation ranged from a new home for the nonprofit
Mi Casa Resource Center to
Catalyst Health-Tech Innovation (HTI), a campus focused on advanced healthcare technologies. While each project represented different needs and end users, they all shared common themes: inclusion, being purpose-built and seeking input from their communities. Beyond Mi Casa and Catalyst, David Zucker, principal of
Zocalo Community Development, and Doug Price, CEO of
Rocky Mountain PBS, were both on hand to discuss RMPBS' new home in downtown Denver, and Mark Shaker of Flightline Ventures was on hand to discuss
The Stanley Marketplace. Christine Marquez-Hudson, executive director of Mi Casa (and soon-to-be president and CEO of
The Denver Foundation), moderated the panel and discussed the Mi Casa project, which will blend low-income housing and social services. Also on hand was Carl Koelbel of
Koelbel and Company, which is developing Catalyst HTI.
