What does it mean to build community, not just property?
<p>In our latest episode of Voices of a Highway, Vasti Pichardo, property manager for Atlanta’s Chinatown, a historical part of the Buford Highway corridor, shares what it looks like to lead with people first. What was once a quiet, underutilized space is now evolving into something much deeper, a place where small businesses are finding their footing, families are gathering, and cultures are intersecting in everyday ways.</p><p>Rooted in her experience as the daughter of Dominican immigrants, Vasti brings a perspective that challenges traditional models of development. Her approach is not driven solely by occupancy or revenue, but by belonging, visibility, and long-term sustainability for the communities that call this corridor home.</p><p>This conversation reminds us that spaces do not become meaningful by accident. They become meaningful when they are shaped with intention, trust, and a commitment to the people within them.</p>
