Resilient Deals with Impact Investing featuring Michael McLean Jr

What happens when you mix deep community understanding with big real estate vision? Michael McLean Jr. from Condor Partners joins Dave Dubeau to unpack impact investing—not as a buzzword, but as a strategy that’s transforming neighborhoods.

Michael explains how Condor Partners approaches development differently. Rather than chasing trends, they spend years getting to know communities before starting projects. From revitalizing 120-year-old office buildings in Chicago to building luxury assisted living in Evanston, their projects are guided by purpose—and resilience.

Michael shares the behind-the-scenes story of turning a long-vacant lumber warehouse into a thriving office hub in Pilsen, and how their Evanston project not only houses seniors, but employs locals and uplifts the neighborhood.

Key Takeaways:

• What “impact investing” means in the real estate world

• How community-first planning leads to long-term success

• Real-world examples of projects that thrive because they listen first

• Why Michael’s sociology background gives him a unique edge in real estate
