The IDA Small Scale Developer Seminar is all about project formation. We take a big picture view of neighborhood-based development. Attendees will analyze what makes a good project and how a building makes money. Potential developers will better understand the ecosystem of professionals in the built environment. Aspiring developers will feel more prepared to take the first steps on their own project.
Potential small developers, investment partners, or small development ecosystem champions should attend this introductory Seminar on small scale real estate development.

Meet the IDA Faculty presenters
IDA Faculty Marques King
IDA Faculty Presenter Marques King is a Licensed Architect, practicing Urban Designer, and small scale developer operating in Detroit, Michigan. His desire to pursue a career in the built environment was fueled by his grandparents telling tales of a Detroit once full of vibrant and sustainable neighborhoods. This would contrast starkly with the degradation and disinvestment Marques experienced growing up in the city and ultimately established his need to take an active part in rebuilding Detroit’s neighborhoods.
Marques holds B.S. in Architecture and in Construction Management from Lawrence Technological University in Southfield, Michigan. He also has a Master of Architecture degree from the University of Maryland in College Park, Maryland. Throughout his career, Marques has contributed to many projects across a variety of scales including mixed-use residential-commercial buildings, ‘Missing Middle’ housing structures, and comprehensive master plans for entire districts. He has also worked on international planning projects in China and India.
Currently, Marques practices architecture, urban design, and development through his firm Fabric[K] Design which endeavors to hold neighborhoods together with contextual, sustainable, and people-centric design. The projects are at the small to mid-size scale with a focus on housing hybrids and ‘Missing Middle’ types. In addition to private practice, Marques serves as a faculty member of the Incremental Development Alliance and is an adjunct faculty member at the University of Maryland School of Architecture, Preservation, and Planning.
IDA Faculty Presenter Jenifer Acosta
IDA Faculty Presenter Jenifer Acosta is a solutions-minded community developer known for redeveloping historic buildings and extensive work driving property and downtown revitalization. With a heart for saving underutilized relics, she bridges old and new, building (and often rebuilding) dynamic communities that evoke a strong sense of place.
She believes that the best solutions are created by local people, with local resources, with local pride in mind and invests in projects that hit a triple-bottom line of community connection, environmental impact and fiscal responsibility. She has a strong passion for helping first-time developers launch their commercial vision and teaches small-scale real estate development to doers, bootstrappers and community advocates. Jenifer earned a bachelor’s degree in sociology from Southern Illinois University and a master’s degree in international administration and sustainable development from the University of Miami. She also holds a graduate certificate in real estate development from New York University. Jenifer’s projects have received numerous awards and recognition for historic preservation and economic development.
