Workshop: How to Find Your Next Residential Development Site

For generations, developers have relied heavily upon instinct to evaluate the hidden potential of development sites.

By combining feedback from agents, planners, architects and builders, developers could determining the market value, planning risk, design outcome and construction cost of a project in a manner more akin to an art, than a science.

Today, the rise of big data, computational and generative design and artificial intelligence is changing that approach dramatically.

Developers and their consultants need to rapidly embrace new technologies that bring together the key inputs influencing the way to develop.

Because if you don’t, someone else will. The era of democratic development beckons.

Join us for an informative two-hour workshop where you will learn how to leverage technology to rapidly find and evaluate the hidden potential of properties.

Things you will learn about:

How to identify current and future zoning and development controls
How to determine the development yield of each site based on height, GFA/FSR and more
How to identify permissible development uses (such as duplexes, townhouses or units)
How to estimate design constraints such as car parking, setbacks, open space and more
How to estimate the cost of construction based on different scenarios
How to estimate residual site value through the use of an intensive feasibility engine.
