Entitlements for Redevelopment

3 Credits · Level: Graduate

This seminar focuses on “entitlements” — the legal rights secured through government approvals to develop property for a certain use, intensity, building type or building location. Topics covered include property value creation through entitlements, the legal, institutional, and planning framework for redevelopment, analytical frameworks for selecting sites and assessing development risk, the role of building design in adding value to redevelopment projects and the negotiation of development agreements. Coursework is advanced through lectures, class discussions and exercises, and case studies.
