The School of Architecture’s Master in Real Estate Development + Urbanism program presents the Reinventing Real Estate Development Lecture Series this fall with Developer-in-Residence Frank Starkey. Starkey co-founded Longleaf, a 568-acre, TND (Traditional Neighborhood Development) 25 miles northwest of Tampa. Construction began in 1998 and the project is half complete, with over 400 homes, 50,000 square feet of commercial space, a preschool, elementary school, and a church. Starkey has been involved in many aspects of development: planning, entitlement, code writing and implementation, engineering, permitting, construction, product development, marketing, and communicating with residents. He will present “A New Normal for Development: How Big Forces will Change What We Build and How” on Wednesday, October 27 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Jorge M. Perez Architecture Center, Glasgow Hall. The lecture is free and open to the public.
