The Urban Land Institute just published the 4th edition of the Professional Real Estate Development, co-authored by Dr. Sofia Dermisi, Lyon and Wolff Endowed Professor in Real Estate and Professor of Urban Design & Planning.
The book guides those new to development through key steps, challenges, opportunities, and the latest innovations in developing land, multifamily, office, industrial, and retail projects. The authors emphasize innovation and new technologies, from the assembly and management of a project team to design, finance, marketing/management strategies and the reconciliation of the project vision with community engagement. A significant portion of the commercial real estate chapters are focusing on sustainability trends and the effect of the covid-19 pandemic.
