SPARK Developer Academy

The Spark Developer Academy is a week-long intensive training and networking opportunity for local emerging real estate developers who have an authentic connection to the communities they seek to transform.

The Academy is designed to assist new real estate developers with four main professional development goals:

• Provide access to training in the fundamentals of real estate development
• Create networking opportunities to develop formal and informal business relationships with each other
• Develop a supportive and equitable ecosystem that includes lenders, grant-makers, city staff, development professionals, and mentors
• Create opportunities to access financing for their projects.
