NEW! Feasibility Fundamentals: Evaluating Land for Development

Breakfast Sponsored by: TBD

This class teaches a practical, systematic approach to evaluating land for development so students can identify opportunities, avoid costly mistakes, and advise clients with confidence. Through real world case studies and current Washington housing legislation, students learn how zoning, site conditions, and market forces affect what can realistically be built and how to make informed go- or no-go decisions.

What students will learn:

• How to evaluate land using a structured feasibility framework
• How zoning and housing legislation impact development potential
• The difference between highest use and best use
• How access, title, topography, soils, utilities, and environmental factors affect buildability
• How to identify red flags and avoid common development mistakes
• How market conditions influence feasibility and profitability
• And more!
