Partner to Empower
Brookfield Properties’ Partner to Empower program is designed to support business owners from diverse backgrounds — including, but not limited to, Black, Indigenous, Hispanic, Asian, and Pacific Islander Americans — in growing brick-and-mortar stores in our shopping centers. Participants gain access to our Retail Workshop led by industry experts, along with one-on-one mentorship and networking opportunities to help grow their retail or restaurant business.
Partner to Empower is looking for current Brookfield Properties tenants to be a part of our next cohort. Contact your mall representative between June 25th, 2025 to July 25th, 2025 to learn how you can participate.
