The Development Workshop

How do you go from a piece of land to a completed apartment development? How do you even find the piece of land? In this workshop, small groups will work on a group-created hypothetical apartment development project, identifying existing conditions, market conditions, how to make a site plan, how to make a development program, how to structure a deal, what economic models are best to use, how to build, and how to market. We identify solutions to challenges and point to effective strategies used by successful apartment developers. Each small group will share the hypothetical development they have created, and everyone will gain a better understanding of how to visualize their development and bringing it to reality.
