Hello! And thanks for reading my first blog post!
Here I will share my thoughts about urban planning, repurposing old buildings, placemaking, and community building.
Having practiced business law for the last 20 years, I have been lucky to immerse myself in all sorts of businesses as well as the art of problem solving for my clients.
But to quote another lawyer - Thomas Jeffers - "Architecture is my delight, and putting up and pulling down one of my favorite amusements." (Meacham, Thomas Jefferson, the Art of Power, p. 285).
And so it goes, ten years ago I bought and rehabbed a hundred year old former neighborhood grocery store building and turned it into a boutique coworking space, Iona Work Spaces, in the city of Alhambra California. I own and operate the space today.
My goal is to share my journey on this project and other similar projects of mine, as well as profile others who have done similar projects. I hope to inspire others in placemaking and community building.
