Vanessa Baratta
Senior Project Manager
Vanessa has played a leading role in the conception and development of mixed-use places and the transformation of underperforming real estate assets in towns and cities across North America, leveraging specialty experience-based development programming such as food and wellness districts; non-traditional retail; creative industries and maker spaces; agricultural and ecological uses; and other creative placemaking initiatives.
Vanessa has worked closely with developers, city governments, and business organizations, and brings a thoughtful approach to mixed-use development that ensures the viability of highly differentiated and vibrant places, by marrying programming with physical planning and design, guided by market realities.
As a proud Italian-Canadian, Vanessa is excited to play a key role in managing Wellness Communities Italia’s projects and efforts to revitalize and transform regions across the country.
