Learning from Large-scale Adaptive Reuse Projects

Description

Inspired by large scale rehabilitation projects, we will dive deeper to learn more about the unique traits, challenges, and incentives that come with working on these types of projects. In this webinar we will not just talk about what makes a successful large-scale rehab project, but take a closer look at the issues, including:

• Adaptive reuse projects that are so big that a single developer cannot handle them in a short term
• Projects that could not have happened without the pursuit of entitlements, incentives, loans, and tax credits
• Other problems and challenges facing large-scale adaptive reuse projects.

In this webinar, we will give a brief overview and focus on two major case-studies:

1. Culver Studios Project in Culver City, and...
2. Broadway Trade Center in Downtown Los Angeles
