IDA Small Scale Development Virtual Workshop

We are pleased to announce IDA’s newest public offering, the IDA Small Scale Development Virtual Workshop!

Our one-day virtual Workshops on small scale real estate development are all about project formation. We take a big picture view of neighborhood-based development to help attendees analyze what makes a good project, how a building makes money, and how small developers interact with the broader ecosystem of professionals in the built environment. By the end of the Workshop, aspiring developers will feel more prepared to take the first steps on their own project.

Workshop participants will get an overview of incremental development: the approach, the practice, and its application to common building types and neighborhoods. Faculty will lead a hands-on site planning and pro forma exercise to lay out a building on a site by applying a sample zoning code. Participants will also leave this session with a better understanding of how to handle site challenges.

Meet the IDA Faculty presenters

IDA Faculty Marques King

IDA Faculty Presenter Marques King is a Licensed Architect, practicing Urban Designer, and small scale developer operating in Detroit, Michigan. His desire to pursue a career in the built environment was fueled by his grandparents telling tales of a Detroit once full of vibrant and sustainable neighborhoods. This would contrast starkly with the degradation and disinvestment Marques experienced growing up in the city and ultimately established his need to take an active part in rebuilding Detroit’s neighborhoods. Marques holds B.S. in Architecture and in Construction Management from Lawrence Technological University in Southfield, Michigan. He also has a Master of Architecture degree from the University of Maryland in College Park, Maryland. Throughout his career, Marques has contributed to many projects across a variety of scales including mixed-use residential-commercial buildings, ‘Missing Middle’ housing structures, and comprehensive master plans for entire districts. He has also worked on international planning projects in China and India. Currently, Marques practices architecture, urban design, and development through his firm Fabric[K] Design which endeavors to hold neighborhoods together with contextual, sustainable, and people-centric design. The projects are at the small to mid-size scale with a focus on housing hybrids and ‘Missing Middle’ types. In addition to private practice, Marques serves as a faculty member of the Incremental Development Alliance and is an adjunct faculty member at the University of Maryland School of Architecture, Preservation, and Planning.

IDA Faculty Alli Thurmond Quinlan

IDA Faculty and presenter Alli Thurmond Quinlan is an architect, landscape architect, and small infill developer. She founded and runs Flintlock Ltd Co (a multi-disciplinary design practice), Flintlock Development (an urban infill real estate development company), Matchlock Lt Co (a historic preservation development company), and Valkyrie Design Cooperative (a shared services co-op that supports and promotes women in the design profession) in Fayetteville, Arkansas. She also served on the Fayetteville Planning Commission and the Construction Board of Appeals, as well as serving as a Senior faculty member and interim Board Member for the Incremental Development Alliance and a visiting professor at the Fay Jones School of Design at the University of Arkansas. Alli believes that small developers have the potential to be advocates for their neighborhoods, leading the redevelopment of communities to both protect and include longtime residents while welcoming new, diverse neighbors within a variety of “gentle density” forms. Her work solo and with the University of Arkansas Community Design Center has been honored with national and international awards from the Congress for New Urbanism, the American Society of Landscape Architects, the American Institute of Architects, Architizer, and the American Planning Association.
