What This Blog Addresses, and What It Doesn't

Some confusion seems to exist about the purposes of this blog. 
We draw on a great deal of experience in developing real estate - residential and commercial. By residential, we mean large master-planned communities, not individual residences. Neither do we discuss sales or brokerage activities nor speculative investments in single family residences. There are more than enough blogs, 'zines, and hard copy materials addressing those areas.
Commercial real estate development includes office, retail, industrial, hotel/resort, multifamily, entertainment, and mixed-use projects.
In this blog, we address the current state and emerging trends of residential and commercial development with emphasis on capital markets, real estate finance, land use regulations, and deal structuring.
We are primarily, but not exclusively, focused on the US market. We address the overall market situation, not the market aberrations in Washington, D.C. or New York City. Neither do we focus on the markets involving the multibillion dollar REITs and other investment funds. We are sensitive to the plight of the smaller-scale developers. They are more heavily impacted by capital requirements and land use regulations, and have to be more creative in structuring their projects.

There are no coincidences!
