“Maintaining accessible and affordable housing in Waterloo Region”
The sustainable cooperative has done quite well so far but now they face increased demand with no affordable rent prices. They would like to preserve these prices without having a big financial impact that would threaten long-term growth opportunities. So, what can we, as experts, do here to solve this complex case of the co-operative that needs to continue providing affordable housing while not suffering large loss financially. ——————————- Nico Pizitelli Associate, H. Frank Beebe Inc. My Vulnerability and Personal Journeys My background story has been marked by constant challenges and failures with business ideas that did not fly as high. I had worked hard, studied many business concepts at Harvard, but it had been years since I did any direct work for such a startup environment (which, I should admit, was both an advantage and an obstacle to being an effective assistant on this team project, but as time progresses, you have to move past it and just focus on the task ahead).

SLU, an innovative idea of sustainable coop with a community living aspect and a car sharing or green vehicles system integrated at the core of a new millennial-favoring development. Millennial generation with a preference of eco-living would love such units to preserve planet earth without compromising affordability, leading Union to revisit a sustainable strategy to provide more living unit solutions, especially as water pollution from urban lifestyle becomes critical and expensive to remediate and as land becomes more scarsce for future development with the existing buildings occupying valuable downtown real estate to meet affordable and sustainable living needs of future millennials.
