About Partnership in Property.

At PIP CLT, we are dedicated to leveraging the transformative power of commercial land trusts to advance our social and economic mission of ensuring equitable access to sustainable commercial spaces for local small business owners.

But what exactly is a commercial land trust? Simply put, it's a vehicle for acquiring land and removing it from the speculative for-profit real estate market. By holding land indefinitely for the benefit of the community, we guarantee that it remains affordable for business owners, including artists, lawyers, therapists, restaurants, barbers, beauty shops, bookstores, and other enterprises that enrich neighborhoods with their presence. Here are some community stories that explain what we stand for.
