Alberto Kritzler is a developer committed to responsible land transformation practices and passionate about how city making can improve communities’ wellbeing.
He founded La Reserva, a landscape-driven regenerative community designed to protect a rainforest through a collectivist model. The project achieved water autonomy by harvesting rainwater and demonstrated how rural development can align with ecological restoration.
His latest venture, La Laguna, focused on transforming a 90-year-old textile factory into a co-production hub for design-driven businesses, combining small-scale industrial production with cultural, social, and educational initiatives in Mexico City.
Previously, he co-founded Reurbano, an adaptive reuse development company with three premises: to reuse existing buildings, reactivate the street-level, and rethink ways of living, working, and moving through cities.
A Loeb Fellow at Harvard and MBA graduate from Stanford, Kritzler also serves on the boards of a historic ceramics manufacturer and a B-Corp coffee producer.
