  • Yesterday, our team had the incredible opportunity to attend the Brainstorming 2024 Event, featuring local and national industry speakers Lori Snider, Robyn Cue, Terri Norvell, and Toni Blake. Our team members gained valuable insights into elevated industry trends in Sales, Management, Communication, and Consumer Trends. Our Director of Talent & Branding, Clover Sharpe, was invited to facilitate breakout brainstorming sessions. We are proud of her contributions and the impact she made. Learning moments like these are truly invaluable, and we are grateful for the experience. Proceeds benefited Entryway, a fantastic organization helping individuals and families experiencing situational homelessness transition to housing stability and economic self-sufficiency. As always, Toni, Lori, Terri, and Robyn were on point, making the event both thought-provoking and fun! #BrainstormingEvent2024 #IndustryTrends #Zocalites

    We are grateful to David Zucker, principal and CEO of Zocalo, for sharing his invaluable insights with The Counselors of Real Estate® Colorado Chapter. Watch the transformation of Notable, where we turned a vacant, 4-story, 160,000 SF office building in Lakewood into 218 units of affordable housing, complete with an interior courtyard. This remarkable project is a model of adaptive reuse and hosts the Lakewood School of Music, further enriching the community. Thank you, David, for your visionary leadership, and to our incredible team for their relentless dedication. Together, we're making a lasting impact and Building Connected Communities across Colorado. #AffordableHousing #AdaptiveReuse #Lakewood #CommunityImpact

    On Office-to-Residential Conversion: "You buys your ticket and you takes your chances." Thankful to David Zucker, principal and CEO of Zocalo Community Development, for sharing his insights with The Counselors of Real Estate® Colorado Chapter.  Zocalo's successful creation of 218-units of affordable housing out of a vacant, 4-story, 160,000 SF office building in Lakewood - in part by coring the middle of the building for an interior courtyard - is a case study in adaptive reuse.  In addition to providing housing, Notable, is home to the Lakewood School of Music. David's key message: You never know at the start of the project how things will turn out; but if you buy it right and have the right people working (and working and working) at it, great things can happen.

  • Today, we honor Juneteenth, a historic day commemorating the emancipation of enslaved African Americans in the United States. This day, June 19th, marks the announcement of freedom in Galveston, Texas in 1865, two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation. Let us take this moment to reflect on the resilience, courage, and enduring spirit of those who fought for freedom and justice. Their legacy lives on in the continued fight for equality and human rights. Join us in celebrating the rich culture, history, and contributions of African Americans. Whether it's through education, community events, or supporting Black-owned businesses, let's make this day meaningful. Together, we can honor the past, celebrate the present, and work towards a more inclusive and equitable future. Happy Juneteenth!

  • We’re thrilled to share that we recently partnered with the incredible Tasha L. Jones for a transformative DEIB learning session on Building Inclusive Leadership! This event was a huge success, bringing our associates (across all departments) closer together and deepening our commitment to fostering a culture of belonging at Zocalo. A highlight of the event was the breakout session on lived experiences, where team members shared personal stories about their backgrounds and journeys. This powerful exercise fostered deeper connections and understanding within our team, emphasizing the impact of empathy and authentic communication. Tasha’s expertise in leadership, team building, diversity outreach, and community development made this event truly impactful. We are excited to continue our journey toward a more inclusive and equitable workplace. A big thank you to everyone who participated and chose to be vulnerable. And to Tasha for leading such an inspiring session! Here’s to building a brighter, more inclusive future together. #DEIB #SPIRITValues #Zocalites #InclusiveLeadership
