    Coffee and Conversations is ULI BC’s monthly early morning coffee speaker event, where all real estate professionals can drop in to meet other like-minded colleagues and hear new thoughts and ideas surrounding real estate development. Developers, builders, architects, urban planners, engineers, acquisition officers, brokers, mortgage professionals, appraisers, students – all real estate focused professionals…this event is for you! Open to ULI members and non-members. This event is free to attend for members, $5 for non-members. Registration is required in both circumstances.

    We are delighted to have Carl Isaak, Director of Planning with Small Housing BC, join us for a coffee and conversation! The topic will be advocating for the Missing Middle and other attainable housing options. Carl will be joining us for a conversation about his career, and how it evolved from working for a private developer, to working in numerous planning leadership roles with municipalities, and now he made the switch to leading advocacy work to enable new and innovative forms of housing across our communities. The discussion will be followed by a Q&A.

    Feel free to bring any question that you have for Carl about his work, projects, or professional life. Alternatively, you can also email us at [email protected] and we will select a few as part of our discussion.

    Speaker

    Carl Isaak

    Director of Planning, Small Housing BC

    Carl Isaak is the Director of Planning with Small Housing BC. He specializes in rallying industry and municipal partners to accelerate the delivery of gentle density homes that fit well in neighbourhoods, and is a strong advocate for government policies that encourage ‘right-sizing’ new housing. His efforts build on his years leading policy and development teams in the municipalities across the Lower Mainland, in addition to working with private developers and non-profit convening city-to-city learning networks. Carl’s policy expertise includes climate action, heritage adaptation, and tenant assistance, but his main passion is improving quality of life for all by promoting housing that allows elderly folks to stay in their neighbourhoods, grown children to afford their own place without an hour commute, and young families to live near the ‘village’ it takes to raise children.
