Nancy Kleppel writes: “In 2016, Kwame Campbell ’92, founder of the Brown Real Estate Group, introduced me to David Fox ’70. Together, David and I roughly bracket the years of the Baby Boom. We share an interest in architecture and real estate development with a particular focus on meeting the needs of our cohort as we consider downsizing in retirement. Fast forward a few years and together, along with Patrick McDarrah (Wesleyan ’88) we have founded Live Give Play, a real estate development company transforming how older Americans live with new buildings in walkable, connected communities. Our first project, 79 King Street in Northampton (Mass.), is a 72 unit, Passive House Certified apartment building in the center of town. We’ve completed design development, have sailed through the approvals process and are nearly ready to begin construction. We are working through financing details and eager to connect with classmates, potential residents, and interested investors. We’d love to do a future project in Providence, if a suitable site becomes available. It’s been a great experience connecting with and working alongside Fox, a fellow alum and now close friend.”
