Commercial property redevelopment can transform vacant, underperforming, and obsolete buildings into productive assets that generate revenue, attract investment, support local businesses, and strengthen communities. However, successful redevelopment requires more than identifying a promising property. Real estate professionals must understand market demand, financial feasibility, funding options, regulatory requirements, and the risks involved in repositioning an existing asset.

​

This three-hour continuing education course provides real estate professionals with a practical understanding of the commercial redevelopment process. Participants will examine how projects move from initial vision and property identification through feasibility analysis, financing, regulatory approval, construction, and completion.

​

The course explores how feasibility studies are used to evaluate market demand, site conditions, development costs, projected revenue, financing assumptions, and a project’s overall viability. Participants will learn how to recognize properties with redevelopment potential and determine whether a proposed use is financially and operationally realistic.

​

Participants will also explore common redevelopment financing options, including conventional debt, private equity, public incentives, grants, tax credits, and other gap-financing tools. The course examines the roles of developers, lenders, investors, government agencies, and community stakeholders in structuring and advancing redevelopment projects.

​

Regulatory considerations—including zoning, land-use approvals, permitting, environmental requirements, building codes, and local development standards—will be discussed as critical components of the redevelopment process. Participants will learn how early due diligence and coordination with public officials can help identify challenges, reduce delays, and improve project outcomes.

​

Through practical examples, group discussions, and real-world case studies, participants will learn to:

• Identify vacant, obsolete, and underperforming properties with redevelopment potential.

• Establish a clear vision and strategy for repositioning a commercial property.

• Understand the purpose and primary components of a feasibility study.

• Evaluate market demand, site conditions, project costs, projected revenue, and financial viability.

• Explore common debt, equity, incentive, tax-credit, and alternative financing options.

• Understand the roles of developers, lenders, investors, government agencies, and community stakeholders.

• Recognize zoning, permitting, environmental, and regulatory issues that may affect a project.

• Integrate feasibility, financing, regulatory approvals, and implementation into a coordinated development process.

• Identify and mitigate financial, regulatory, market, construction, and operational risks.

• Incorporate sustainable and adaptable practices into redevelopment projects.

• Apply lessons from successful redevelopment projects to future opportunities.

• Better advise clients considering the acquisition, sale, lease, or redevelopment of commercial property.

 

Designed for commercial and residential real estate agents, brokers, appraisers, investors, developers, and other industry professionals, this course provides a comprehensive introduction to evaluating and advancing redevelopment projects. Participants will leave better prepared to identify opportunities, guide clients, coordinate with project stakeholders, reduce development risks, and contribute to projects that create lasting economic and community value.
