NMU - Real Estate Development Fundamentals

Description

This is a two-day course, taking place via Zoom on February 7th and 14^th from 9:00am - 12:00pm is focused on planning and implementing real estate development projects and what it means to be a real estate developer. In this class, students will gain an understanding of the process of real estate development, including:

• Design and construction; how to mass a building on a site based on zoning and dimensional restrictions
• How developers engage with the public sector and the surrounding community to obtain approval for a development – and necessary tradeoffs in that process
• The legal aspects of development
• The ways that development is a catalyst for neighborhood improvement and local economic growth
• How projects are financed
• Trends in sustainable development
• Other important elements that contribute to completing successful real estate projects.

The primary student outcomes are an improved ability to understand the diverse risks that need to be managed in development, the roles and responsibilities of the development team, and techniques to control land and build a successful project.
