Why this is a win for ULI Northwest (Urban Land Institute)
civic advocacy
The Win
ULI convenes the real estate and urban development community — the people who
will have strong views on whether the Arch-as-commons is a credible idea. A ULI
forum or advisory panel on the Arch's adaptive reuse would accomplish two things:
bring private sector rigor to the proposal, and shift the real estate community
from bystanders to participants.
ULI has analyzed similar civic facility conversions nationally. The Northwest
chapter has standing in exactly the stakeholder circle where the Commons proposal
needs credibility beyond the civic advocacy sphere.
