Welcome to Inviting Oneness, a podcast where we explore true stories from friends and members of EquaSion—stories where the illusion of separateness gave way to the deeper truth of our shared humanity. Oneness isn't an idea, it's an experience. And today we continue listening for it one story at a time.

Our guest today is Tamie Sullivan. Tamie is a community developer and innovative social entrepreneur with more than 30 years of nonprofit and small business experience. More recently, she has turned her attention to real estate development by founding Neighborhood Builds, LLC to scale innovative housing solutions using factory-built for urban infill construction. She formed a partnership in 2024 with InnovaLab, founded in Michigan to build modular and manufactured housing in that state, to replicate their success in her home state of Ohio.

At Neighborhood Builds, Sullivan is dedicated to increasing housing supply using off-site construction methods and scaling the advantages of modular and manufactured housing to increase middle housing more quickly and cost effectively. InnovaLab models designed for urban infill lots can easily be replicated throughout Ohio as zoning laws change and the need for density is incentivized.

Having held a wide varity of positions in both the public and private sectors, she knows how to get things done through development/communications strategy, government/community relations and collective impact. As a longtime consultant, she delivers streamlined project management and measureable results. Sullivan knows solving unique problems requires creativity and a pathway to measurable success. Now, she’s bringing that commitment to community and passion for problem-solving to the housing shortage in throughout the Cincinnati region.

Sullivan is a graduate of the UrbanLand Institute’s Real Estate Accelerator Lab (REAL) 7.0 and Cincinnati USA Regional Chamber’s Leadership Cincinnati Class 30.

Tamie was also a board member at EquaSion for over a decade before recently stepping off.
