Redefining Real Estate Through Regenerative Design

Neal Collins, Co-Founder/Partner of Hamlet Capital and Latitude Regenerative Real Estate, shares how his team focuses on creating walkable, conservation-driven communities that integrate agriculture, wellness, and long-term stewardship. Drawing on experience in climate adaptation, international development, and mixed-use real estate, we discuss why buyers increasingly seek places that connect food, health, and community, and how regenerative planning, municipal collaboration, and thoughtful capital structures can turn underused land into resilient, multi-generational neighborhoods.
