Renewal is deep in the build out of the interior with Penner and Associates. They are driving us towards the highest level of LEED we can reach for commercial build out of office space. Fitting modern offices into the irregularities and charm of a 19th century space tests our patience and pocketbook. The charm of the 100+ year old brick, massive windows, central light well, and the 8 or 9 walk in vaults with original steel doors, hold tales we'll have fun for years creating and embellishing.

Innovative Initiatives

Renewal has played a vital role in several large scale Innovative Initiatives over the years, mobilizing a wide array of organizational talents and resources in partnership with other organizations. These are multi-stakeholder projects in keeping with our long-term vision, which require professional and business skills to move forward.

Social Purpose Real Estate

Real Estate can be a powerful tool for creating community benefit. Renewal has used investment capital and foundation assets in rural and urban real estate projects to further its social and environmental mission.

Endswell believes it is important to align foundation assets with mission-related investing. Recent projects include real estate investments designed to support and sustain non-profit organizations by developing infrastructure and creating a long-term asset base.
