In our Decade of Action 2021-2030, let us strive together toward the UN SDG’s and Climate Action through the development of healthy, resilient, carbon neutral communities.

Top three (3) initiatives to help accelerate the decarbonization of the built environment:
1. Urban Land Institute Asia Pacific – Co-Chair of Resilient Cities Council and Instructor for ULI Executive Learning Series: “Decarbonization of the Built Environment: Making the Financial Case”.
2. Koramco Fund with US$20 billion+ real estate assets. Serving on the Board of Directors to help strengthen ESG and decarbonization policies and strategies.
3. PMC Innovation District development north of Seoul. Approx. US$2 billion development of 3,500 residential units, a hospital, cancer research center and a life sciences ecosystem, among other “live, work, play” amenities, we want to showcase how we might “design, build & operate” sustainable communities of the future.
Cha graduated Columbia Business School, MBA 1985 (Majors: Accounting, Finance & Real Estate) and the Wharton School, BS in Economics 1979 (Majors: International Finance & Data Science). Cha is married for 30+ years and has two daughters.
