Join the ranks of those investing in ULI Cleveland today! Our sponsors comprise of the leading real estate organizations in the region.
A global cohort of ULI National and District Councils working to connect artist, developer, and community voices to drive more inclusive and participatory real estate outcomes.
The Urban Land Institute Cleveland, a participant in Urban Land Institute’s inaugural Art in Place program, has recently been awarded funds to partner with the City of Cleveland to amplify community voices and artist perspectives throughout 2023 with the goal of driving more inclusive and participatory real estate development processes. This will be done with dialogue-building events to amplify voices, places, and research at the intersection of arts and real estate, including a Technical Assistance Panel. A Technical Assistance Panel (TAP) convenes a multidisciplinary team of real estate development professionals who tour the site under review, interview local stakeholders, and develop recommendations that are presented publicly at the end of the session and in a written report.
A neighborhood on the East Side of Cleveland is the initial selected area of focus. Currently, ULI Cleveland is working to identify artists, developers, residents, and arts organizations who are interested in engaging with this project.

Art in Place is the next step in ULI’s ongoing commitment to Creative Placemaking (CPM) focused on the integration of art, culture, and creativity as levers of community revitalization and is made possible by the generous support of former Global Governing Trustee and Julia Morgan Society member Michael Spies.
The Art in Place cohort, working locally and together, will seek to:
- Foster stronger connections between artists and real estate, demonstrating how culture and creativity can advance social trust, community connection, and development success;
- Demonstrate how to embed creative placemaking and community perspectives in real estate development, to achieve better outcomes; and
- Distill lessons learned for wider sharing and adoption.

- ULI Austin: Incorporating creative spaces in Austin’s existing and future developments.
