With the real estate industry strewn w ith bankruptcies and failed housing tracts,
priv ate hom e builders and land dev elopers are challenged to get financing ev en
for what m ight be considered "class A" projects.
"For the priv ate hom e builder today capital is probably the m ost critical elem ent
for going forward," said Jeffrey Mey ers, principal of Mey ers LLC. That is why
hom e builders are being inv ited to attend the Capital Markets Forum offered at
the Pacific Coast Builders Conference later this m onth in San Francisco. Mey ers,
a longtim e real estate consultant, is serv ing as a chairm an of the program .
Com m ercial bank loans are particularly scarce for hom e building today , Mey ers
said, noting that banks are giv ing greater preference to apartm ents and ev en to
hotel acquisitions.He said the forum will discuss alternativ es to bank loans such
as institutional equity inv estors w ho put up m oney for a share in profits.
Am ong those expected to participate in the program are representativ es of the
Fisher Center for Real Estate and Urban Econom ics, Wells Fargo Bank, Morgan
Stanley Real Estate Fund, Cox, Castle & Nicholson LLP, Earnst & Young LLP,
