Our Team
Viridian Canopy is a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) formed to identify and pursue a business combination with enterprises addressing the nation’s housing needs.
Viridian Canopy is led by people whose careers span development and government relations. That combination shapes which opportunities we pursue and how we carry them forward.
Illustrative concept. Housing, public space, and infrastructure meet at the same corner.
