  From $1 houses to community-rooted development, Bernice Radle shares how she built a career revitalizing Buffalo one building at a time, proving that small-scale, people-first real estate can transform neighborhoods from the ground up. In this conversation, we talk about what it actually looks like to do this work on the ground, the barriers small developers face, and why empowering local ownership is essential to building resilient, thriving places.

  03. Mike Keen

  Mar 29, 20261h 5mS1

  Mike is what you might call an “accidental developer.” He didn’t come up through traditional real estate. He started out in sustainability and academia, and kind of stumbled into development by asking a simple question: what can I actually do to make my neighborhood better? Instead of waiting around for someone else to fix things, he just started. One building, one project, one relationship at a time. He’s based in South Bend, Indiana, where he’s been quietly leading one of the most interesting neighborhood revitalization efforts in the country. Not with big splashy projects, but through small, incremental development and by building a whole ecosystem of local developers around him.
