We are pleased to announce IDA’s newest public offering, the IDA Small Scale Development Workshop!
Our one-day virtual Workshops on small scale real estate development are all about project formation. We take a big picture view of neighborhood-based development to help attendees analyze what makes a good project, how a building makes money, and how small developers interact with the broader ecosystem of professionals in the built environment. By the end of the Workshop, aspiring developers will feel more prepared to take the first steps on their own project.
Small Development Workshop participants will get an overview of incremental development: the approach, the practice, and its application to common building types and neighborhoods. Faculty will lead a hands-on site planning and pro forma exercise to lay out a building on a site by applying a sample zoning code. Participants will also leave this session with a better understanding of how to handle site challenges.
