brings life back into buildings at risk
in YOUR COMMUNITY.

MISSION
G
Grand Bequest is a property technology company that empowers
individuals to save old buildings at scale. We offer memberships that connect communities and organisations directly with the resources they need to reclaim, conserve, and reuse vacant old buildings.
​
We have a very simple mission: save abandoned old buildings.
​
Our state-of-the-art technology works with communities to introduce data analytics, stakeholder participation,
transparency, and alternative financing support to change the way public and private groups work together to improve their communities.
​
​
We help others overcome the financial and operational obstacles of reactivating old buildings in order to create safe, healthy, and sustainable buildings, empowering the entire community to feel proud of these buildings once again.
ABOUT THE FOUNDER

Dr. Katherine Gunderson is the founder of Grand Bequest. She is eternally searching for ways to improve the built environment and desires to never stop learning ways to continually improve the possibilities for vacant and derelict buildings. She obtained her MSc in Architectural Conservation from the University of Edinburgh's Scottish Centre For Conservation Studies as well as her Doctorate in Business Administration from the University of Liverpool. Her key academic priorities include a systematic analysis of the state of buildings at risk and real estate entrepreneurship.
