Proceedings-Sustainable Property Transactions: Retooling the Business of Contaminated Site Redevelopments.”
[April 20, 2010 - November 10, 2010]
The Concept:
If there is one conference you can attend this year in this challenging economy, this is the ONE that will allow practitioners to identify opportunities and move forward on sustainable site redevelopments.
Managing distressed corporate assets, loans and other non-performing property involving environmental contamination as well as navigating the acquisition and sustainable development of these type properties is not for the faint of heart. Empower yourself with legal, financial, technical, risk management and sustainable development tools and immerse yourself in three days of challenging and thought-provoking debate, networking, presentations and panel discussions.
In the wake of this slow to recover economy, the continued credit and liquidity crisis is driving practitioners to incorporate more rigorous environmental risk management and due diligence techniques and sustainable development practices into business and real estate transactions. The economic meltdown has resulted in an increase in non-performing and brownfield type-sites. The credit crisis and increased cost of capital are encouraging creative approaches to the brownfield redevelopment transactions.
Attend this conference and acquire the tools to identify the business opportunities as well as fine-tune your skills to bracket, reduce or transfer the risks associated with distressed assets involving contaminated property. Bring value to site redevelopments using sustainable development standards, practices or certifications. Learn how you can effectively manage and resolve foreclosure and bankruptcy issues encompassing environmental contamination and reposition those assets.
In this Philadelphia conference explore how complex public and private real property transactions involving environmental contamination and sustainable development issues can be successfully managed--how sites get cleaned up and redeveloped using sustainable design, remediation and construction practices. Identify ways to monetize carbon finance assets in real estate transactions.
This RTM Communications, Inc., conference will provide attendees with expert insights into the realities of this new economy and the changes it has brought to relationships among buyers/sellers, lenders, investors, developers and insurers. Contaminated real property deals and redevelopment issues now must be shovel-ready as well as sustainable.
The goals of this Philadelphia conference are for you to become better equipped to mitigate your transactional and legacy risks and facilitate sustainable site redevelopments. There will be special presentations on green building design, remediation, and construction, evolving green building underwriting standards. There will also be a session in focus on recent developments in the environmental risk management of vapor intrusion affecting real estate transactions.
This exciting and value-added informative conference will host some of the industry’s most effective practitioners and participants in their respective fields.
