Program Description:
Most real estate projects are developed and owned as joint ventures, as mean of leveraging various sources and types of capital and expertise, and as a technique for mitigating risk in complex projects. Developers may seek equity or mezzanine loans from investors and long-term loans from commercial lenders. Contactors may have profit participation rights in exchange for an abatement of some fees and management of the project may be outsourced to a third party. Joint ventures may also not be formal joint ventures, with a separate entity formed to develop and/or own the property, but come in the form of complex, overlapping agreements among the parties. In every respect, real estate joint ventures are very complex exercises in finance and risk management. This program will provide you with a real-world guide to types of real estate joint ventures, major capital structuring issues, and a guide to drafting the major provisions of the underlying documents.
