5.0 out of 5 stars
Thorough, up to date (2000) and well written,
By Anthony (Vancouver, BC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Real Estate Development: Principles and Process 3rd Edition (Hardcover)
This book was recommended as a textbook for a 4th year course in real estate development and it reads like one. It is well organized and covers this broad subject with detailed, practical information in a systematic way.Most of all I enjoyed the two real life case study storys (of the development of an office building and a high-rise apartment) that weave through the chapters. These were very candidly told by the developers themselves and give the real picture of the trials and tribulations of large project real estate development. Numerous listings of information sources, web sites, and bibliographies at the end of each section makes this book a 'keeper' reference text.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Market, marketability and feasibility studies,
This review is from: Real Estate Development: Principles and Process 3rd Edition (Hardcover)
This book so clearly articulates the pivotal role of the triad of market, marketability and feasibility studies in the field of real estate development. While the book does not attempt to be all encompassing, the text is dense with financial and other risk analysis distilled from the experience of the authors and contributors. Although at times it felt like the shudder of taking an ice cold shower, I finished the book feeling refreshed and invigorated to tackle the challenges and opportunities of the risk-reward tradeoff in the development business.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Good hands-on approach,
By ReadingForFun (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Real Estate Development: Principles and Process 3rd Edition (Hardcover)
I appreciate the up-to-date information contained in this book, and the way the authors have placed it in real-life context. Helpful for all levels of proficiency in the area.
I would say this book is about equal in quality to Peiser's book on professional real estate development, and your choice would depend on your preference in presentation.
