Amman 2025 From Master Plan to Strategic Initiative | Amman Institute
The Greater Amman Municipality set out in 2006 to replace its outdated 1987 development plan with Amman 2025. Due to rapid development pressures, the plan shifted from a traditional 20-year master plan to a more flexible strategic growth initiative. Rather than a long planning phase separated from implementation, analysis and legislative interventions occurred closer together. Extensive engagement with professionals and municipal staff also distinguished Amman 2025. The plan aimed to accommodate 4 million new residents by 2025 through infill, densification, and limiting expansion, while concentrating large developments in designated high-density zones. The short timeline of under two years reflected the urgent need to guide Amman's growth.

Spencer stuart, Multifamily Development Today
The document summarizes two commercial real estate deals - one that was unsuccessful in obtaining financing ("The Bad") and one that was successful ("The Good"). The Bad deal involved acquiring and redeveloping a declining shopping mall with low occupancy. Lenders were unwilling to provide financing due to the high risks involved. The Good deal involved refinancing construction debt on an office property in San Francisco with strong sponsorship and 100% occupancy. Lenders viewed it favorably due to the low leverage being requested and quality of the asset and sponsorship.

This document provides an overview of the Alta Aspen Grove apartment development in Littleton, Colorado. Key points include:
1) The 280-unit development has a mix of 1, 2, and 3 bedroom units and is achieving absorption of 21 units per month at $1.45-$1.50 gross rents.
2) Development costs were approximately $165,000 per unit due to low land costs of $27,000 per unit and catching the construction market during a trough.
3) The development received HUD financing at a current rate of 5.71% with mortgage insurance, providing an assumable, non-recourse loan.
Marc goldstein, Building Capital Stacks in Today's Market
The document discusses different capital stack structures for real estate investments, including some that worked and some that didn't. A Denver high-rise apartment development used a 65% construction loan with an option to add mezzanine financing up to 85% of the capital stack, which increased returns but also risk. A single tenant retail portfolio acquired using a DST structure with 50% long-term CMBS debt at 5% fixed worked well, providing a levered 6% return to investors. Factors like loan-to-value ratios, interest rates, equity multiples, and internal rates of return are compared for different deals.
Jeffrey bijur, Building Capital Stacks in Today's Market
The document discusses different capital stack structures for real estate investments. It describes a Denver high-rise apartment development that used a 65% construction loan and option to add mezzanine financing up to 85% LTV, which increased returns but also risk. It also describes a successful single tenant retail portfolio acquired using a DST structure with 50% long-term CMBS financing, which provided stable cash flows and returns. The document cautions that while increased leverage can boost returns, it also increases risk, so capital stack design is important to balance risk and return.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
