UWT adds commercial real estate program

 The University of Washington Tacoma Continuing Education program offers three courses designed for commercial and residential real estate professionals, as well as bank and loan officers, mortgage brokers, architects, builders and public officials. Participants who successfully complete all three non-credit courses earn a certificate in commercial real estate.
 
The award-winning program is designed to help experienced professionals understand the complex processes involved in the commercial real estate industry. It covers specialized subjects such as property values, insurance, risk management and real estate law. Accomplished experts in the field of commercial real estate teach the courses.

The first of the three courses, Introduction and Static Analysis of Commercial Real Estate, begins Jan. 5 and meets Mondays and Wednesdays from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. through Mar. 16.
 
The introductory course covers trends in commercial development, commercial property vocabulary, static analysis of the four principal property types, and principles of leasing and income maximization. Participants form teams and create a simulated project from the ground up—taking it from concept to completion.
