Technical Assistance Panels (TAP) Program: a ULI
Advisory Service
Objective of the ULI TAP Program
The ULI Technical Assistance Panel (TAP)
program brings the finest expertise in the real estate, planning and
development fields together to collaborate on complex land use and
redevelopment projects. TAPs are designed specifically to be run
and implemented by District Councils, and are intentionally flexible to
provide sponsoring organizations a customized approach to specific land
use and real estate issues.
TAP Application and Schedule
District Councils consider applications for the
TAP program from local public or private organizations. After receiving
an application, members of the District Council TAP Committee will
arrange an initial meeting to understand and refine the assignment
objectives as well as identify key issues. Shortly after this initial meeting, the committee
decides whether or not to accept the panel assignment.
A two- to three-month lead-time is necessary to
provide sufficient time to assemble the best available panel members,
compile briefing materials, and plan for the logistics of the TAP
program.
Who serves on a TAP?
Once a project has been designated as a TAP
project, the District Council TAP Committee assembles a group of ULI
members with expertise in the topics under consideration.
Depending on the assignment, panel members may include developers and
land owners, investors, designers, planners, engineers, market and
financial analysts, as wells as members of the public sector. These
experts volunteer their time for a one or two day working session at no
cost. Following the TAP, the District Council compiles a summary
of the presentations and recommendations in a ULI TAP Report.
How Can TAPs Help Public Agencies or Non-Profit Organizations?
The TAP program can help public or non-profit
organizations by:
- Analyzing the re-use potential of existing
properties;
- Identifying key economic and management issues
relating to public/private land use projects;
- Developing criteria for evaluating development
proposals and project feasibility;
- Assessing overall development strategies and
policies.
