REAL PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT MINOR  – 2001-03 Catalog
College of Architecture and Environmental Design
Architecture & Environmental Design Bldg. (05), Room 212
(805) 756-1321

The process of real property development touches all aspects of environmental design and the built environment. This minor imparts the minimum skills, values and knowledge needed to participate in the real property development process. Courses are designed to provide adequate preparation to beginning level employment in private companies and public agencies engaged in development projects. The integration of practitioner experiences in many of the courses provides state-of-the-art knowledge of current methods and techniques. The minor fosters the student's ability to design or structure a project, and thus is beneficial to all partners involved or impacted; this includes lenders, users, the community, agencies and interested parties.

The minor provides understanding of how development serves the space production needs of the private, public and not-for-profit sectors and how projects can be implemented in the context of balanced environmental opportunities and constraints. It capitalizes on environ-mental design principles to shape and improve the development process and its product: the built environment. The minor is excellent preparation for students whose interests are in the areas of environmental design, built environment or real property development and finance.
