Facilitating Translational Research

Would a carpenter be asked to manage building a new housing development? Probably not. More likely, a real estate developer with the skills, experience and knowledge of the local market and trades, including carpentry, would manage such an undertaking. Good developers anticipate and address the challenges of building and selling homes. Delivering attractive, appropriately priced homes on time and on budget requires that developers use their knowledge, experience, and judgment to make numerous decisions that engage the right talent at the right time to balance development risks and costs.
