Sonny Caberwal: Building Communities To Enhance The Human Experience

Sonny Caberwal is a serial entrepreneur who is fascinated by how technology can improve the quality of our lives. Sonny is currently partnering with the developers of The Baylands to help design a mixed-use, sustainable community on the 700-acre site that will foster equity and human connection.

Greg Vilkin: The Baylands—A Visionary Model For Sustainable Living

Our guest is Greg Vilkin, CEO of The Baylands Development Company, which is in the process of developing 700 acres for the zero-carbon community The Baylands.

In this episode, Greg explains how The Baylands aligns with the increasingly popular 15-minute city concept and why we will be seeing more of these kinds of sustainable communities. Plus: how communities like Baylands are addressing issues such as lack of affordable housing and human connection. Greg has spent the past four decades as an executive developing complex, high profile, mixed-use projects—from 1500 Mission Street in San Francisco to Grand Avenue in Los Angeles to Central Park, built on the site of Stapleton International Airport in Denver.
