Building the Capital Stack: Leveraging Dollars for Complete Communities

Circle up and let’s explore how developers and community groups develop a “capital stack,” the layers of the financial structure of a real estate deal, to achieve their transit-oriented and community development objectives. With specific projects as examples, we’ll cover the nitty-gritty of preparing a financial plan along with the challenges of convincing stakeholders and funders to come to the table to help build up the stack. The format is a listening circle, with speakers in the middle. Listen and learn before being given the opportunity to join the circle and contribute to a discussion focused on both insights about the process as well as different ways to achieve similar goals.
