About FutureBUILDS
FutureBUILDS is a real estate development initiative seeking to support early- and mid-career Black, Indigenous and People of Colour (BIPOC), who are interested in real estate development professionally or launching entrepreneurial ventures in the industry. With support and funding from the Future Skills Centre (FSC), Monumental developed and implemented the first BIPOC Real Estate Development Incubator in Canada in partnership with the University of Toronto’s Infrastructure Institute. Informed by research conducted by Monumental on the experiences of racialized individuals in the real estate development sector, FutureBUILDS seeks to catalyse new thinking, agility and ideas into the sector by engaging BIPOC entrepreneurs and innovators who are passionate about solving issues of access to housing and housing affordability.
The initiative launched in 2023 with our inaugural cohort of the FutureBUILDS – BIPOC Real Estate Development Incubator supporting BIPOC entrepreneurs to bring viable plans for small to mid-scale (minimum 2 units) housing developments to market. We believe that by diversifying the people who lead housing developments in our country, we can contribute to solving our housing crisis while supporting community wealth building for groups who have historically faced barriers to entry into real estate development.
