Product Description
Finance for Real Estate Development by Charles Long is the Urban Land Institute (ULI) paperback that explains how financing decisions drive every stage of a real estate development project, from land acquisition through stabilization and exit.
Long spent his career as a developer before writing this, and it shows. Rather than a finance theory text, it is a working explanation of how deals are actually put together: sources and uses, equity and debt structures, joint ventures, public-private partnerships, lender requirements, returns expectations and the risks at each phase. Worked pro forma examples and real-world cases show how the numbers change as a project moves from concept to completion.

Why this book
ULI is the professional body for the development industry, and its books are written by practitioners for practitioners. This one is the standard starting point before heavier texts on real estate finance. It pairs well with ULI’s Professional Real Estate Development and is assigned in graduate real estate programs because it teaches the logic behind the spreadsheet, not just the formulas.
