Small Developer Bootcamp with John Anderson

ATLANTA - Sept. 15, 2015 - PRLog -- Developer/Urbanist John Anderson Provides a Day-Long Introduction to Getting it Done in Atlanta October 14

Atlanta (September 14, 2015) – This fall, CNU Atlanta and the Georgia Conservancy welcome recognized developer/urbanist John Anderson for a one-day bootcamp aimed at teaching small developers how to make a big difference with successful infill housing and urban placemaking projects.

Small Developer Bootcamp is open to the public and takes place on Wednesday, October 14 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Center for Civic Innovation, 115 Martin Luther King Jr. Drive, NW, Atlanta 30303. Tickets are limited and available for $150 when purchased by September 19 or $185 per person beginning September 20 at http://cnu.org/small-scale-developer-boot-camp-atlanta.

"The need to cultivate and equip a group of small developers to do the finer-grained work of infill and retrofit is very clear,” said Anderson. “The market is insisting upon more walkable urbanism." Anderson’s Small Developers/Builders project examines a variety of Missing Middle housing types, in the range of four to 12 units, sometimes including mixed-use, and how to make a living building on this scale. For developers and builders curious about incremental infill and small-scale development, this one-day workshop will provide advice as well as the opportunity to share expertise or collaborate on new tools.

The Atlanta bootcamp will also provide technical skills and resources to navigate development financing, zoning and entitlement, site selection and building design in order assemble small-scale real estate deals. Additionally, the workshop will address issues surrounding becoming developer, including making a transition from a day job (or not), risk management, quality of life and basic business setup and contracting methods. Materials will be provided ahead of the workshop so that participants can bring their own test case studies. An open “office hours” forum with experts will allow for discussing real project challenges.

The innovative architects at Kronberg Wall are proud to sponsor this event and will host a kick-off session at their newly-renovated Reynoldstown office on Tuesday, October 13 from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. The networking event will consist of libations and a PechaKucha session featuring works from a range of participants including Kronberg Wall.
