With the belief that traditional and modern technologies can support and enhance our day-to-day lives, AABRN plans to enhance wellness and culture ecosystem to blend with artistic creations through the use of novel technologies, encouraging the enterprising spirits of entrepreneurs in lifestyle medicines and entertainment. Services like business development and IT skills-building can help our entrepreneurs turn their visions into realities, as well as for the artists to create virtual realities to inspire and to entertain. These activities will support our very own charter school students to have access to all the resources and opportunities available to pursue career pathways, such as multimedia or sports therapy, etc.. As a true community hub, we look to create an environment that is welcoming to families, giving shape to our kids’ zone, an area designed to engage with child-friendly activities under supervision, in order to better suit the needs of visiting and employed parents, as well as residents from our housing developments (ex. senior condos and affordable housings) to enjoy services and complete the ecosystem.

AABRN ultimately plans to redevelop the former Sears site to become a World Cultural Heritage Corridor to be guided with twin visions of community and innovation, as one cannot exist without the other. We believe that innovation cannot happen in a vacuum, that community enhances the contents and transforms the shape of innovation, and that innovation should continuously work to improve the conditions not just of the individual, but of the community as a whole. This site could become such a space, providing resources and opportunities to adults and youth alike, in hopes of growing a vibrant hub that will brighten the futures of the surrounding areas and of those who come through. AABRN welcomes area residents and interested parties to join our planning process.
