Will B. Bradshaw II
President
Green Coast Enterprises
New Orleans, LA
Will Bradshaw is the Co-Founder and President of Green Coast Enterprises. He started the Green Coast Enterprises in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina with a vision to create a triple bottom line real estate development company.
Under his leadership, Green Coast’s first major commercial development, Community Green at Washington and Broad, modeled the concepts of retaining rainwater on sight through a permeable parking lot and rain gardens four years before the City of New Orleans passed its storm water management legislation. The Pythian, another development, created a first of its kind model using a community land trust to ensure permanent workforce affordable housing in the downtown New Orleans Central Business District. Through this work, he has become a thought leader on issues of sustainability, affordable housing, and smart growth policies.
