Real estate
development projects include assisted living facilities, hospitals, mixed-use
urban sites, office buildings, shopping centers, planned residential
communities, and low-income housing. The legal issues that may accompany these
projects range from initial financing, later refinancing, accompanying credit
transactions and leases, and default and restructuring in bankruptcy. Recent
years have seen specific legal developments regarding the Fair Housing Act, an
uptick in municipal bankruptcy filings, and, more generally, an evolving
economic and regulatory landscape. This panel brings together scholars working
in the wide-ranging area of real estate development to discuss emerging issues
from a variety of legal perspectives, including real estate finance, commercial
law, bankruptcy and restructuring, and fair housing and related consumer
protection laws.
