UNITED PROPERTIES IS CULTIVATING INCLUSIVE CULTURE THROUGH SHARED EXPERIENCES AND MEANINGFUL CONVERSATION.
At United Properties, we believe the path to an inclusive culture is paved not only by education — but by experience. We’ve embraced experiential learning as a meaningful tool to help our team deepen understanding, build empathy, and grow personally and professionally.
Rather than relying solely on traditional workshops, we’ve created opportunities for employees to engage firsthand with people, places, and stories that broaden perspectives and build cultural awareness. These shared experiences promote honest reflection, deepen connection, and move us toward more inclusive behaviors and decisions in our work and communities.
Over the past few years, this commitment has come to life through our Inclusion Speaker Series and a variety of immersive learning opportunities. From conversations with local business owners and community leaders to site visits that explore the intersection of culture, history, and development, these events foster understanding across lines of difference — and challenge us to think more critically about equity in real estate and beyond.
Whether over breakfast at a locally owned juice bar, on a neighborhood redevelopment tour, or during powerful conversations with guest speakers, we’ve created space for dialogue, self-reflection, and learning in real time. These moments help us see the bigger picture and remind us that building an inclusive workplace means actively listening, learning, and showing up with curiosity.
“Our inclusion efforts are rooted in experiential learning — where personal and emotional conversations unfold, grounded in real stories and shared humanity. These experiences challenge us to think differently, act boldly, and lead with empathy.”
