TOPIC: Commercial-Residential Redevelopment Opportunities: A Major Post-COVID Value-Add

The State of CA is short 1.5 million housing units and that number is growing. The State has issued additional residential housing unit targets for all cities (roughly an increase of 10% across the board), known as the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (“RHNA”). Example – the RHNA number for the Bay Area is 442k units. 2019 and 2020 saw some of the most important legislation aimed at defining processing time frames, with the stated goal of streamlining processes and getting more units approved quickly. Some of the biggest players in residential development are chasing the larger opportunities; this is a very active space. Small or very small properties may present an opportunity for patient investors or property owners with existing commercial/retail properties who want to enhance their values (think stand-alone “B” and “C” class office, strip centers, etc.).

We’ll be welcoming Frawn Morgan, CEO of LDC Advisors to talk to us about the opportunities for re-entitling and developing some of these commercial and retail properties. She has extensive experience in due diligence and the re-entitlement process for these types of assets. Join us to hear about this exciting and growing opportunity.

DATE/TIME: Thursday, April 22nd, 2021 @ 7:00 PM
