"If I have seen further than others, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants." (Isaac Newton)
Every opportunity available to us today is here because of the great thinkers, builders, and creators who shaped our communities as we know them. Standing on the shoulders of those giants is what gives us the ability to see and create what comes next.
This month, we are honored to have Dana Frank join us for an interview and Q&A with Katrina Eileen Romatowski, Founder of reSpace and Katrina Eileen Real Estate.
Dana's father helped pave the way for her family. Unable to obtain traditional financing to purchase real estate, he used creative deal structuring to amass one of the largest real estate portfolios in Seattle. Hear the history of the Franks, learn how Dana made her own path, and go deeper through her book, "Get Up and Get On It," available for purchase with your ticket or at the event.
Before and during the event, you are invited to enjoy the Columbia Tower Club's world renowned signature lunch and an auction of exquisite luxury trips and items, with all funds benefiting the nonprofit Mary's Place.
A very limited number of tickets are available.

What is reSpace?
reSpace is a Seattle company offering structured co-homeownership. You own a private suite in a premier-neighborhood home and share thoughtfully designed common areas, for roughly what you would pay to rent a one-bedroom. Technology and design turn a single home into a small community of individual owners, making homeownership in Seattle's best neighborhoods reachable for more people.
How does reSpace co-homeownership actually work?
With reSpace, you purchase a private suite of your own, complete with amenities like a wet bar, while sharing common areas such as the kitchen, living spaces, and outdoor areas with a small group of fellow owners. Each home becomes a small community of individual owners, supported by technology and design that keep daily life smooth, private, and connected.
How do I get involved with reSpace events in Seattle?
reSpace regularly hosts gatherings around Seattle that bring together leaders, neighbors, and people curious about a new path to homeownership.
