Pre-Conference Sessions
Workshop Session #1:    Real Estate Finance & Proformas
 
Description:
 
More and more, planners are being asked to consider economic issues such as development feasibility, fiscal impact, and economic development potential.  Having a firm grasp of real estate finance is critical to successfully determine how a development proposal affects the long-term revenue stream and economic development goals for a community.  This session will provide valuable hands-on experience in understanding financial feasibility for a range of real estate developments from the developer’s perspective. 

Instructors:

Kevin Engstrom; Senior Principal | Keyser Marston Associates; Los Angeles, CA

 Workshop Session #2:     Using Your Form Based Code
 
Description:
