BREAKOUT 1C – FINANCE TRACK
Alternative Lenders in a Post-Dodd Frank World
The risk-based capital rules of Dodd Frank likely will impact, if not constrain, the most active area of finance
today – namely construction and repositioning loans. This panel of esteemed and active nontraditional lenders
will discuss their anticipation of the new markets post-Dodd Frank, as well as how they each view the
alternative lender’s role in filling the potential vacuum in the capital stack for value add transactions. As part of the discussion, the panel will discuss any implications
that Dodd Frank will have relative to alternative lending space (such as the cost of funds).

line panelists will discuss various types of existing and developing technologies, and how these technologies

BREAKOUT 1B – DEVELOPMENT TRACK
What Works (and Doesn’t) in Real Property Contracts
Real property contracts often contain the same core provisions, including pages upon pages of boilerplate
provisions, all included and intended to (i) specifically delineate the parties’ rights and obligations, (ii) limit
the parties’ liability with respect to the transaction, and (iii) dictate the manner in which potential disputes are
adjudicated. While real estate lawyers and their clients rely on these ubiquitous provisions, do they actually work? Will
they be enforced literally and as everyone thought they would be when the contract was drafted? This panel will examine the enforceability of common provisions in real
property contracts and provide guidance on how to draft such provisions to ensure they are enforced.

Fad or Forever: Is Foreign Investment in U.S. Commercial Real Estate Here to Stay?
Over the past few years, billions of dollars of foreign capital has flowed into U.S. commercial real estate.
The acquisition and construction of high profile assets has garnered much of the attention but is not the
entire story. Some experts predict that investors from China and other countries will continue their massive
investments in markets like Los Angeles and New York as part of a long term “diversification” strategy. This
panel will discuss significant sources of foreign capital, including EB-5 financings, sovereign funds and direct
private investment. The panel will also discuss the impact that foreign capital is having in Los Angeles
with projects such as Metropolis and Figueroa Central and acquisitions like the U.S. Bank Tower.
