What works post-recession: The new development reality

Development is re-awakening in Phoenix following a pause in activity that was enforced by the recession. Professor Mark Stapp, director of the Master of real Estate Development program, notes in this conversation that many of the developments that managed to be built during the pause created a character of community not seen when the market was hot: local, unique, social collectors. In this podcast he talks with Claude and Nina Gruen, founders of Gruen Gruen + Associates, about the new facts of life post-pause that developers ignore at their peril. Claude Gruen’s new book is called “New Urban Development: Looking Back to See Forward.”
