Building Capital Stacks in Today’s Market

Hear about deals in the $10 million to $75 million range that were capitalized, and those that were not. Each of our speakers will present a recent project that was successfully capitalized as well as one project that failed to make it to the finish line and share what worked and what didn’t. In today’s fickle and nuanced market, what are key factors to success and hurdles impeding approval? The session will cover new development, existing projects, and repositioning.

Making Money in Residential Real Estate: What Will the Housing Business Look Like in the Future and How Will It Be Funded?

Although the economy should continue to improve gradually, there will still be a substantial resale inventory on the market for years to come – from foreclosures and short sales to the back log of homes owned by pent-up sellers, with a lack of mobility due to poor market conditions. How can money be made in residential real estate now? Explore the role that market and site selection, community, neighborhood and home design, marketing and communications, and debt and equity will play in the new housing and community development model. Learn some of the great development ideas that will allow you to make money now rather than waiting for the good old days to return.

Multi-Family Development Today

Multi-family development has changed dramatically in recent years as this product type has become a favored asset class of both institutional and private investors.  Come learn about three real deal developments completed in the past year, representing three different types of multi-family development:  a garden suburban – style project, an urban mid-rise wrap project, and a high-rise tower project.   The developers of these projects will provide a brief overview of each asset and then discuss various elements that make each multi-family product type successful, including land costs, hard construction costs, soft costs, required yields of investors, and profitability metrics.  This is a comprehensive overview of the new era of multi-family development.

Commercial Development with Real Deals and Real Numbers

Come hear how product council members are getting transactions completed in this growth and capital constrained market.  Several council members will share mid-size transactions that new and veteran developers alike will be able to have take-home value from each transaction presented. Developers will address underwriting decisions, business plans, alternate business plans, lenders and sale considerations.  There is something to learn from each of these creative entrepreneurs.
