Sundance Bay Serves
Inspired by the International Day of Charity as part of the UN’s 2030 Agenda on Sustainable Development, Sundance Bay has established Sundance Bay Serves. In this employee-led outreach program, team members give back to meaningful causes through paid volunteering days and a dollar-for-dollar matching program.
Our team members are active volunteers, professors/lecturers, and guest speakers at the following academic institutions: Brigham Young University, the University of Utah, Harvard University, and Columbia University.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
At Sundance Bay, diverse culture is critical to our business performance and growth strategy, as it fuels innovation and promotes agility within our teams.
We strive to create an inclusive culture that values different approaches and perspectives with a unified, shared commitment to excellence and integrity.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Council
We have also established a dedicated Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Council to support an inclusive environment, ensure accountability and further improve DEI practices for stakeholders and employees from various racial, socio-economical, ethnic, ability, veteran status, and professional backgrounds. Sundance Bay is an equal opportunity employer.
Charitable and Service Committee
Our charitable donations are appropriated by our Charitable and Service Committee, composed of employees representing all departments and offices within our company. The committee also helps to identify and organize service opportunities for employees.
The SB Women's Fellowship
To support a sustainable pipeline of diverse talent in the commercial real estate industry, Sundance Bay launched the SB Women’s Fellowship, which recruits, trains, and develops qualified female students and entry-level candidates.
Mentorship
Sundance Bay is committed to growing and advocating for future industry leaders. Since inception, we have partnered with local universities to place juniors and seniors into the Sundance Bay Career Development Program. Interns join an immersive, rotation program that provides an introduction to the real estate industry and training in various functions within the firm: valuation, asset management, development, investor relations, as well as finance and operations.
Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) commitment
As the real estate industry strives for greater sustainability, Sundance Bay is committed to integrating environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations into investment decisions and ownership policies. We hold ourselves accountable to conducting business with the highest integrity and strictest standards.

Portfolio-wide, Sundance Bay collects and monitors sustainability and consumption data, and utilizes prescriptive analytics to identify opportunities to reduce our environmental footprint. We strive for energy and resource efficiencies and meet green building standards where feasible among our numerous repositioning and development projects.

We invest in tenant outreach programs and solutions to improve the health and social wellness, education, and economic advancement for residents within our communities.
Our organization holds in high regard our role and responsibility in fostering the values of a just society and promoting a fair and inclusive culture among internal and external stakeholders.
