UW CBDC Housing Development Podcast

Housing development can be a powerful path to building wealth, but knowing where to start isn’t always easy. Across 10 episodes of the Housing Development Podcast, hosts Mo Malakoutian and David Blum sit down with developers, lenders, architects, and industry experts to break down what it takes to turn a housing project from an idea into reality. From finding land and navigating zoning to securing financing, managing construction, and understanding risk, the series offers practical guidance for aspiring developers, particularly Black, BIPOC, and underrepresented entrepreneurs looking to build wealth through housing. Produced by the UW Foster School of Business Consulting and Business Development Center with support from Bank of America.
