"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 into what they are. It is by standing on the shoulders of these giants that we gain the ability to see and create what comes next.
This month we are honored to have Kemper Freeman join us for an interview and Q&A with longtime PSBJ Publisher and frequent CEO interviewer Mike Flynn. The conversation, and the audience questions that follow, will plumb Kemper's thoughts and involvements on topics ranging from real estate to transportation, the Eastside's future growth, and his views on the future of retail. We will dig into how we, as entrepreneurs and business leaders, can learn from his experiences.
Before and during the event, you are invited to enjoy the Columbia Tower Club's world renowned signature buffet lunch high above downtown Seattle, along with an auction of exquisite luxury trips and items. All funds benefit Kemper's nonprofit PACE, the Performing Arts Center of the Eastside.
A very limited number of tickets are available, so reserve your seat early.

What is reSpace co-homeownership in Seattle?
reSpace is a structured co-homeownership company in Seattle. You own a private suite in a home in a premier neighborhood, plus access to shared common areas, for about what you would pay to rent a one-bedroom. Thoughtful technology and design turn one home into a small community of individual owners, each with their own private space.
How is reSpace different from renting an apartment?
With reSpace you own your private suite rather than renting it. You live in a sought-after Seattle neighborhood, share beautifully designed common areas with a small community of fellow owners, and gain a real stake in a home, all for roughly the monthly cost of a one-bedroom rental. It is ownership and community, not a lease.
How do I learn more or get involved with reSpace?
The easiest way to learn more is to attend a reSpace event, like our Shoulders of Giants gatherings, where you can meet the team and the community in person. You can also reach out through our website to ask about upcoming homes and neighborhoods across Seattle and the Eastside, and find the path to becoming an owner.
