Getting Started in Commercial Development
(by yours truly!)
Many investors are interested in progressing from residential to commercial real estate, and the easiest route is to purchase existing properties to fix up, reposition, add value and sell. But opportunities for greater returns may exist in development opportunities to build from the ground up. This presentation by Wendy Ceccherelli focuses on the progress of her first ground-up mixed-use commercial development at the Rainier Beach Light Rail Station in Seattle. Come hear more about the risks, rewards and  opportunities in the development of commercial properties.
