-: My name is Ashlyn Ackerman.
I'm a graduate architect working in real estate development
in Louisville, Kentucky.
We tend to specialize in historic redevelopment.
We usually get buildings for a dollar
or not much money at all, and we put together
kind of a diverse use structure to it.
So sometimes it's retail, residential,
restaurants, all kinds of different stuff
that might go into this historic property.
And once that project is done, it tends to spur
additional development in the area.
So we tend to lead with some historic projects,
but some new construction and additional hotels
or office buildings, things like that
have kind of come from there.
