Managing the Complexities of Real Estate Development provides a concise summary of the real estate development process, allowing the reader to learn the fundamentals and details of development outside of the sink-or-swim environment of a particular project.
It offers early and mid-career real estate, legal, and financial professionals a behind the scenes view of the dynamic real estate development world, including: how developers make money, how development companies are structured, site location and acquisition, financial analysis, the design and development process, securing financing, project performance evaluation, and project sale or refinance. While focusing on multifamily apartment developments, the idiosyncrasies of retail, office, hotels, and mixed-use projects are also covered.
