B Corp Champions Retreat 2026

I spent decades in legacy family real estate before concluding the industry needed a different kind of platform. Parkera is what we're building in response — sustainable, certified, climate-resilient multifamily, starting in the Upper Midwest. The work is organized around a simple framework: One Purpose. Two Promises. A Built Promise of design and sustainability, permanent with the asset. A Lived Promise of nature and ethos, generative with the community. Our flagship 210-unit project in Plymouth, Minnesota is pursuing Living Building Challenge and LEED Platinum certification.
Happy to talk about:
