Laura Mueller Soppart is a real estate developer and the founder of Built Interest, a firm focused on bringing a human-centered perspective building cities. Laura stops by First Gen #StayHome Edition to talk about her German and Spanish origins, how she ended up interning for Barack Obama's White House, and the learnings from working on large real estate projects like the Domino Sugar Factory in Brooklyn. Also, Laura and Rich discuss what it takes to work on large city initiatives, and how real estate initiatives might change post-pandemic.
