 | | How does a developer know whether a particular piece of land is affordable for a specific project? What specific areas of information should a developer investigate after site control is achieved? How does a developer manage risk by addressing project uncertainties before they become expensive problems?
The business terms (price and timing of payment) for acquiring land for a development project are the most important decision that a developer makes because it is the only decision in the development process that the developer has complete discretion over making; if the project cannot financially support the terms, then the developer does not acquire. Determining whether a project can support the terms of acquisition requires a systematic approach to gathering information and anticipating project implementation issues. After achieving site control, the developer focuses on areas of project risk, continually evaluating whether the chances of success warrant proceeding further and how to implement the project most cost-effectively. If the risks are too high or future implementation measures are shown to be too expensive, the developer needs to abandon the project and treat expenditures up to that point as a loss.
Attendee Takeaways - Understand how to evaluate the economic viability of a real estate project using a hurdle rate that reflects the construction period and absorption characteristics of the project.
- Understand how the development plan for a piece of land and the costs of development determine residual land value and why acquiring at no higher than residual land value is critical for project success.
- Understand what “due diligence” areas of information need to be investigated after site control is achieved and how information in these areas will determine whether to proceed with, renegotiate, or abandon the site acquisition.
- Understand how to create a management plan with tasks and budgets that anticipates implementation early in the project planning before they become expensive.
This webinar provides fundamental information about how to evaluate and manage the economic viability of a real estate project to developers as well as planners, designers, architects, lenders, builders, attorneys, accountants, marketers, engineers, public officials, and environmentalists. | Formats Available: Webinar

| This new program will address how real estate risk can be mitigated using financial products, e.g. derivatives, on a portfolio level. The webinar will review the current state of real estate and how the asset classes are evolving since the 2006 formation of derivative products trading on real estate indices. The question, “what will real estate look like in the future,” will be the focus.
The first portion will cover real estate as an asset class and the discipline of applying portfolio fundamentals to a physical real estate portfolio. The second part will cover new financial products available to real estate portfolio managers and owners for managing and mitigating risks on the physical assets. A brief overview of futures pricing will be covered at the end to provide a perspective of future direction on real estate pricing and how the capital markets are used for forward price discovery.
Who Should Attend:
- Current owners of real estate (multiple sites)
- Current investors/purchasers/analysts
- Financial Officers responsible for corporate, portfolio and project risk management
- Capital providers (equity and debt)

| Evaluating the financial viability of a real estate development project requires an understanding of the metrics used by capital sources. Most sources will assess the project’s internal rate of return to see if it meets their "hurdle" for viability. But, a project’s internal rate of return depends on a detailed cash flow analysis both during construction and after close-out to show both return of and return on equity. How can a developer evaluate a project in its early stages without having accurate information on detailed cash flow? What metrics will capital sources see as legitimate means for evaluating project viability until more information becomes available? How are the metrics used early in a project consistent with a full internal rate of return analysis? This webinar discusses how to evaluate a project’s economic viability using a variety of metrics leading to a full internal rate of return analysis.

| | Held over four sessions, this new online workshop will guide students step-by-step through the construction of a development pro forma for a mid-size hotel property. Beginning with a blank spreadsheet, the program will take students through the entire project from development through sale. Students will be instructed in the basic differences between a hotel pro forma model and other asset classes such as office or multifamily and the corresponding inputs and structure. At the end of the last session, participants will have completed their own hotel pro forma that will actively link to a cash flow page, allowing students to understand the basic valuation of a hotel and how investment decisions are made.
Each session of the workshop is designed to build on the previous one with each participant having a completed pro forma model at the conclusion. Participants will use learned skills to independently build individual sections and maintain the pace of the workshop. However, to avoid the possibility of anyone falling behind, the completed stages will be distributed the evening of each completed workshop. At the conclusion of the workshop, the instructor’s copy will be distributed, which will provide, at a minimum, a working hotel pro forma model for each participant. | Formats Available: Streaming

| Originially held live over two webinar sessions, the archive recordling of this popular online workshop is being made available for a limited time. The program introduces students to the theory and practical construction of “waterfalls” for existing and new Microsoft Excel spreadsheet models. The waterfall is the method of distributing profits among partners within a transaction. In more complex transactions, profits are not distributed pari passu. (Pari passu is the proportional distribution of profits according to the percentage of capital invested—that is, with an investor who provides 80 percent of the capital receiving 80 percent of the profit.)During the first session, students will gain a theoretical understanding of what a waterfall is, as well as be exposed to the Microsoft Excel functions required to construct a waterfall. In the second session, students will construct a waterfall from a blank spreadsheet that can be incorporated into all existing spreadsheet models.
Students enrolling should be familiar with basic Excel commands and spreadsheet construction.

| Time value of money is one of the fundamental concepts in real estate
finance. TVM is based on the concept that a dollar that you have today
is worth more than the promise or expectation that you will receive a
dollar in the future. The reason for this is that money held today can
earn a return through investment so that you will have more than a
dollar in the future. This basic concept leads to the central components
of time value—present and future value. This relationship between
present and future value is why real estate investors must consider both
the timing of and the amount received from real estate investments.
While
financial calculators and spreadsheets can perform TVM calculations,
many people fail to understand the underlying concepts. Without a basic
understanding of the math, it is difficult to understand and interpret
the solution provided by those tools. And, equally important, it can be
nearly impossible to recognize when the answer is wrong.
Attendee Takeaways:
This webinar will provide an introduction to:
- the power of compounding by comparing simple and compound interest returns
- the valuation of cash flow streams, both constant and variable.
- the mathematics of TVM in order to provide a foundation for understanding the numbers
- a simple introduction to working TVM problems in Excel

| | Real estate capitalization rates are a much observed indicator of property value and their movement over time can have profound effects on investor returns. Nevertheless, they are not often well understood by some real estate professionals. And, while real estate investors typically understand how cap rates are used to determine the value of a property, often there is less understanding as to how and why cap rates change.
To gain a more comprehensive understanding of cap rates and their movement over time, it is necessary to examine the component parts that make up a cap rate. Interest rates, expected inflation, risk premiums, and growth in property cash flows are all factors that determine both current and future cap rates. How these component parts change over time dictates how the overall cap rate will respond.
In this webinar, the components of the cap rate will be revealed and discussed with an explanation of how cap rates have moved in the past, and a view to how they might move going forward.
Attendee Takeaways: - A comprehensive understanding of the component parts of real estate capitalization rates and how they are used to determine value.
- Learn how to access market information to determine the current level of these component parts and trends in their movement over time in order to forecast the direction of cap rates.
- Be able to use the information provided in the webinar to make more informed valuation and investment decisions.

| The Great Recession of 2008/09 has caused fundamental changes in the financing of real estate development, changes that will persist for years as the industry de-leverages, vacancies rise and cap rates increase. Valuations of existing properties have plunged, no one knows for sure by how much, but discounts of 40% to 50% are not unusual. Each sector faces its own unique challenges:
- The retail sector, already hard hit with lower sales, is particularly distressed with high
vacancy rates (current estimates are 12% vacancy, a total of 40 square miles of vacant
space), caused by a combination of overbuilding and a wave of retailer bankruptcies. - In addition to the loss of jobs, the office sector faces a decline in square footage per
worker as technology enables work virtually; - With further declines and outsourcing in manufacturing, the industrial sector adds to its
growing inventory of vacant square footage; - Hospitality, a sector that has a history of boom and bust, has a glut of inventory from
prior cycles that can no longer compete in a high amenity marketplace where newer
product sets the pace.
This “perfect storm” of lower leverage, reduced demand, and high inventory has highlighted the growing supply of obsolete, underutilized properties which face bleak prospects for renewal because current valuations of competing properties are lower than replacement, putting a limit on the ability to attract scarce private capital for renewal.
The iconic example of these conditions is the dead shopping mall. At one time, hailed by ULI as, “the quintessential American contribution to the world’s consumer culture”, the conditions that led to the creation of shopping malls and sustained them for decades are changing rapidly. These large unwieldy properties now face the need to convert the vast parking lots and clunky structures into contemporary places. But, where will the capital to fund this conversion come from given that current market conditions will make it mpossible to use purely private sources?
The answer lies in a poorly understood and emerging source of development capital; namely,
public private partnerships. These partnerships address five critical tasks to convert obsolete
properties:
1. Lower entitlement risk and funding of pre-development: The public sector can lower
entitlement risk and reduce pre-development funding requirements by taking the lead on
creating a community-based plan for conversion,
2. Site and access reconfiguration: Public sector assistance is crucial to improve the usually
poor access and reconfigure parcel lines that constrain conversion.
3. Debt funding: The public sector can use low cost municipal debt (land secured, tax
increment or lease revenue bonds) to fund infrastructure, parking and other project
components, thus lowering debt costs.
4. Equity funding: The public sector can provide some portion of the equity component
using land value, tax increment or tax credit funding.
5. Gap funding: Public sector funding is replacing mezzanine funding as the “value-add”
gap funding that used to be a common component of the private capital stack.
The Great Recession has accelerated an already existing trend toward public private partnerships,which have become inherent to the more economically and physically complex, contemporary style of development. And yet, as important as public partnerships have become in contemporary development financing, frequently opportunities are missed and deals badly made because the state of the art for formulating and executing public private partnerships is still relatively new and evolving. Many public agencies still have a weak understanding of the private real estate process and its economics, resulting in unrealistic or constraint-driven deal making. Similarly, the private sector frequently misses opportunities because it is uncertain on how to craft a partnership and is frustrated with what it considers a bewildering, time-consuming decision making process.
Our session on “Using public private partnerships to create value-added conversions” will cover the principles and practice of successfully creating diverse and complex public-private partnerships to capitalize on the inventory of properties that are ripe for value-added conversion.
The webinar will explore case studies and will provide a download of background material and models that provide you a perspective on how you can pursue opportunities for these transactions in the real world regardless of whether you approach these from the public or private sectors.

| | Real estate development is a complex and continually evolving business. To effectively develop, finance, or supervise a project, a person needs a fundamental understanding of the process and its many facets. To be successful, a developer must manage not only their own performance, but also the collaboration of numerous professionals representing multiple disciplines. Throughout this process, the developer also must continually identify and mitigate inherent risks that can threaten the viability of the project.
Designed for both public and private sector participants, this newly updated course follows the principal stages of the process chronologically and addresses how each team member’s actions and performance can affect the success and profitability of the project. Emphasizing the iterative and interactive nature of the real estate development process, the course combines a lecture and case study approach. Top industry professionals, drawn from ULI’s membership, serve as course leaders and guest speakers, sharing their insights, experience, and expertise with participants.
The course is broadly structured in three parts:
Preliminary considerations, market analysis, financial analysis, and strategic marketing;
Site selection and due diligence, land acquisition and deal structure, and entitlements and permitting; and
Planning and design, construction management, and operations and property management.
Hands-on instruction in financial analysis provides students with a fundamental understanding of pro forma modeling basics. | Formats Available: Streaming

| | In today’s environment, commercial real estate development only occurs when property markets demand additional space and capital markets are able to provide the needed financing. The opening course in commercial real estate finance targets this intersection of property and capital markets. It highlights the market analysis necessary to support commercial leasing activity, the income and expense analyses flowing from those leases, and the resulting value creation. While addressing equity capital sources, the course focuses more directly on debt capital and understanding loan sources, lenders’ underwriting guidelines, and cash flow analysis. (Equity capital sources and requirements are addressed in detail in the second course in this sequence, Real Estate Finance II.) Finally, participants have an opportunity to complete a commercial development feasibility analysis. | Formats Available: Streaming
