Making It Pencil: The Math Behind Housing Development

On January 16, 2024, we hosted a webinar discussion of our brief, Making It Pencil: The Math Behind Housing Development. We walked through the high-level decisions that go into new market-rate real estate development, using our prototype pro formas. A panel of expert practitioners offered insights into how these financial realities and market conditions impact development in the state as well as potential policy responses.
