Description
Cottage Courts and Pocket Neighborhoods require attention to detail in physical design, entitlement, financing, construction, and ongoing management. This session will address new horizontal ownership structures to allow the sale of buildings without creating individual lots fronting onto improved streets. For-rent models present opportunities for small scale developers with as few as 4 units and may be an appropriate approach for existing neighborhoods in transition. A for-sale model can be used in locations where providing greater housing choice is the developer's main goal. All of the speakers have built a range of cottage courts and pocket neighborhoods. Model overlay language, horizontal ownership outlines, and pro forma templates are provided.
