Zoned for Opportunity: The Capital Stack Briefing for Development + Energy

Part One: Wed, Feb 25 | Immersive Digital Executive Briefing

Why Now & Who Attends

America is spending big on building and rebuilding—about $2.19T a year in construction activity —and households hold roughly $48.1T worth of real estate . But the winners won’t be the people who simply find a “great site.” They’ll be the people who understand what zoning actually allows and how long approvals will take—because that’s what determines whether a project is realistic, how expensive it is to carry, and whether lenders and investors will fund it.

 

At the same time, energy has become part of the deal, not an afterthought. The U.S. electricity market is enormous—3,975,381,832 MWh sold at an average 12.94¢/kWh in 2024 —and the energy transition is attracting major investment ($378B in the U.S. in 2025, per BNEF) . Translation: questions like “Can we get enough power?” “How long will interconnection take?” and “What incentives come with strings attached?” now shape feasibility just as much as location.

 

This briefing connects the dots in plain English—zoning rules + approval timelines + incentives + financing—so you can turn policy changes into deals that are fundable, practical, and ready to move.

Who Attends

Developers, Investors, Brokers, Municipal Teams, Lenders, Consultants, and Energy-adjacent Operators.

Part One: The Capital Stack in the Regulatory Supercycle - H.R. 1, Opportunity Zone 2.0, and Energy + Transit Growth Markets

Immersive Digital Executive Briefing

Opportunity Districts: Stack Capital, Close Deals

Date: Wednesday, March 18, 2026

Time: 10:00 am - 11:30 am ​​​

The future of our built environment is being redefined, we invite you to join our upcoming briefings, Zoned for Opportunity: The Capital Stack for Development + Energy.  The "Zoned for Opportunity" momentum serves as a dynamic resource connecting developers, investors, and stakeholders with high-impact zoning and development opportunities.

Attendees walk away with a ranked opportunity map—the specific zoning/policy moves creating near-term development capacity (where, why, and what asset types they favor), plus the risk flags that can stall timing (litigation, permitting, political reversals, infrastructure constraints). You’ll leave with a ready-to-use execution blueprint: a corridor watchlist, deal-screening questions, and capital-stack pathways (incentives + financing angles) that translate the briefing into your next 30–90 days. 

Key Insights & Opportunities: ​

  • National Tailwinds & Deal Flows: How regulatory shifts and capital are rewriting market timing, risk, and return profiles

  • High-Value Growth Stacking: Why Mixed-Use, Transit, and Energy-Ready projects are the New Asset Class

  • Dual-Value Capture: Aligning Transit-Led Development and with Energy Incentives and Green Building Mandates

CAPITAL STACKING . ENERGY . DEVELOPMENT

Why Attend

Get ahead of pricing and timing. You’ll see how zoning shifts, deregulation signals, and energy/transit constraints translate into underwriting reality—what changes now, what unlocks next, and where the market is likely to re-rate first.

Pricing & Timing

One

Leave with a repeatable decision framework. Beyond slides, you’ll get the recap + frameworks + signal checklist and watchlist prompts so you can track opportunities weekly/monthly and apply the same lens to any corridor, asset, or deal.

Repeatable Framework

Two

Turn policy noise into actionable deal strategy. This briefing connects policy to pipeline: capital stack implications, incentive alignment, and “what to do next” moves—so you can spot upside, avoid traps, and brief your team with clarity.

Actionable Strategy

Three

  • Zoning shifts & density unlocks

  • Incentives & abatements (what matters, what’s noise)

  • Transit + infrastructure adjacency

  • Corridor archetypes (industrial, TOD, downtown infill)

  • Political/regulatory risk flags

  • Near-term pipeline indicators

Contributors: Our Ecosystem

These briefings are developed across our ecosystem:

Economic Infrastructure Group brings the policy-to-capital thesis, Oliver Bennett Agency translates it into zoning and execution strategy, Green Building Worldwide grounds it in building, technology, and energy realities. Together, we align story, underwriting, and delivery—so the opportunity is both explainable and executable.

Economic Infrastructure Group

Economic Infrastructure Group is a capital-structuring and market-intelligence platform operating at the nexus of transit, real estate, energy, and zoning. We track the regulatory supercycle—translating policy shifts and incentive programs into underwriting-ready frameworks, corridor theses, and practical capital stack strategies. Our briefings help developers, investors, and public-sector partners identify high-conviction markets, price risk, and move from “headline” to financeable deal execution.

Oliver Bennett Agency

Oliver Bennett Agency is a zoning-first real estate advisory built to help developers and owners turn regulation into advantage—and projects into closable deals. We translate entitlement pathways, incentives, and market constraints into clear execution plans, then align a bankable capital stack around the schedule, risk profile, and underwriting story.

 

Our work is designed to speed approvals, reduce uncertainty, and unlock value in complex, high-opportunity districts.

Green Building Worldwide

Green Building Worldwide is a high-performance building and sustainability platform focused on the practical intersection of building science, energy systems, and real estate value creation.

 

We help teams evaluate retrofit and new-build strategies that improve returns while meeting the rising bar for carbon, resilience, and electrification. Our briefings translate technology and policy into investable scopes, measurable outcomes, and implementation-ready roadmaps.
