In 2012, we at Shift Capital were on the verge of buying a large industrial property for next to nothing.

In 2001, the Clinton Foundation moved its world headquarters to Manhattan’s most economically depressed neighborhood: Harlem, the storied “cultural capital of Black America.” The new location was an unconventional choice for the global philanthropic group, which would have had no problem covering rent in any skyscraper in any of Manhattan’s traditional commercial districts. The move was far from perfect and not without its naysayers. But the laudable concept that propelled the move was that of leveraging the organization’s economic power to positively impact the community that lay beyond the walls of the office, and helped contribute to a Harlem resurgence that has changed the landscape of New York City.
