Upcoming Program
May 8: AIA-GCA 2019 Event #2 - The Perfect P3 Project
Register Online! Wednesday, May 8, 11:30am-1pm at the AIA Center for Architecture
Our latest AIA/GCA seminar will continue our P3 discussions by exploring current P3 projects in Hawaii and the local opportunities and challenges with Lance Wilhelm. Following that we will have Charles Long give a presentation on the tools necessary to craft successfully Public Private Partnerships.
Transit oriented development, downtown revitalization, conversion of obsolete retail and industrial sites, brownfield cleanup, and mixed-use development are all more economically and physically complex than the development of the past and, in most markets, require some type of public private partnership to succeed. What can the AIA and GCA communities do to enhance the potential for successful public private partnerships?
Recently, ULI published a manual on Public Partnerships: From Principals to Practice, written by members of ULI’s two public private partnership product councils. Attendees at the AIA meeting of May 8 will receive a download code to obtain a copy of this publication for free.
Cost: $10 AIA Members & GCA Members (GCA members must apply the promo code “GCA” at registration for member fee), $20 for non-members.
