Unlock Spaces.
We are building a platform to connect charities and community organisations with commercial property owners to bring idle spaces to life.
Meanwhile Use
Meanwhile Use converts vacancy into measurable social and commercial value for asset owners, community, government and charities, as it delivers housing and social infrastructure at a fraction of traditional build costs, unlocking underutilised assets to create shared value.
Asset Owners – Create social license through strong partnerships with community and government, reduce holding costs, reduce vacancy risks.
Charities and NFPs – Increase supply of vital facilities and assets to increase service provision, build partnerships, reduce operating costs.
Community – Increase community vitality, safety, local service provision and engagement, reduce vandalism, crime, urban decay.
Government – Optimise service delivery, efficiency and urban renewal, decrease costs, vacancy and crisis support requirements.
Every Space Has Potential
Hundreds of Meanwhile Use projects are already operational in Australia, and around the world.
