As industry veterans with nearly 50 years of experience combined, Heather Personne and Amy Malloy were accustomed to successfully navigating the commercial real estate world.

Evolve Ventures recently celebrated its third anniversary, which was made sweeter by the fact that it is set to bring to market two unique development ventures of its own.
