In Episode 107 of the Land to Lots™ Podcast, Carter Froelich talks with Charley Freericks, President of the Arizona Region of Howard Hughes Communities, about Teravalis, a 37,000-plus acre master plan community in Buckeye, Arizona.

Charley shares how he got his start in the land business at Grubb & Ellis in 1983 and the path that followed through Talley Industries, DMB, and Catellus, where he led the Novus Innovation Corridor on ASU's Tempe campus. He also explains how his long history with the Douglas Ranch property ultimately brought him out of retirement to lead Teravalis for Howard Hughes.

Carter and Charley then discuss the project Howard Hughes inherited, including outdated zoning and development agreements that required a major entitlement rewrite. They also cover Howard Hughes' long-term ownership model, the land-use strategy behind Teravalis' 100-year buildout, Peter Calthorpe's plan for approximately 12 villages, and the infrastructure and bridge-sequencing decisions guiding the project's next phase of growth.

In this episode, you'll learn:

How Charley Freericks' decades of experience in land development and his longstanding connection to the Douglas Ranch property led him out of retirement to join Howard Hughes in 2024.
Why the original Douglas Ranch and Trillium entitlements required a nearly 500-page rewrite before development of Teravalis could move forward.
How Howard Hughes' long-term ownership model differs from the traditional merchant-build approach used by many master plan developers.
How land use budgeting gives Howard Hughes the flexibility to adjust residential, retail, office, and multifamily uses throughout Teravalis' 100-year buildout.
How Teravalis is planning for neighborhood retail, mixed-use commercial districts, and the future development of downtown Floreo.
How Peter Calthorpe's land plan divided Teravalis into approximately 12 villages and sequenced growth around the Hassayampa River and existing infrastructure.
Why bridge costs and the development opportunities they unlock are central to determining where Teravalis expands next.

The group shares what they are seeing across Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin, and Houston, including where deals are still moving, where builders are pulling back, and why transactions are taking more work than they did a few years ago.

This episode takes a deeper look at how SCIP proceeds are incorporated into a project pro forma, the difference between financing fees and financing infrastructure, and the timing considerations developers and builders should understand before entering the program.

James and Bob also discuss how agencies participate in SCIP, when taxable bonds may be used, and why the program can be a competitive advantage for both developers and municipalities looking to support growth.

How developers should think about timing bond proceeds in the project pro forma.
The difference between using SCIP to finance impact fees versus public infrastructure.
Why infrastructure reimbursement typically requires completed improvements, agency inspection, and approved requisitions.
Why using SCIP proceeds as construction financing is difficult under California public works requirements.
How fee credits and reimbursements work when financing development impact fees.
When taxable SCIP bonds may be used and how they differ from tax-exempt bonds.
What steps are required for cities, counties, school districts, and special districts to participate in CSCDA and SCIP.
Why SCIP can be a deciding factor in whether a project pencils for developers and builders.
How municipalities can use SCIP as a tool to attract development without taking on the administrative burden of forming and managing districts themselves.
The value of SCIP's flexibility for small, medium, and large projects across California.

In Part 1 of this conversation, you'll learn:

How SCIP was created and why it became a practical tool for financing impact fees and public infrastructure.
The difference between assessment districts and CFDs within the SCIP program.
Why CFDs are becoming more common due to their flexibility around product type, tax rates, and eligible facilities.

Why cities, counties, and districts often prefer to use CSCDA rather than managing district formation and bond issuance themselves.
How tax rate sensitivity varies across different California markets.
When developers and builders should begin engaging with CSCDA and RBC during the development process.
How SCIP can be used for early-stage infrastructure needs, including critical offsite improvements.

In Episode 97 of the Land to Lots™ Podcast, Carter Froelich finishes his conversation with Scott Cox, Principal of SLC Advisors and a frequent contributor to The Builder's Daily, for a candid discussion on what is really driving builder stress right now. While margins may still look acceptable on paper, many private builders feel pressure building beneath the surface. The issue is not just today's closings, but higher-basis land in the pipeline, slower absorption, and the simple reality that time is expensive.

Carter and Scott explore the difference between managing to a pro forma and managing to the market. They discuss why sales velocity often matters more than protecting the last point of margin, how to calculate the true monthly carrying cost of a community, and why that number alone can reshape pricing decisions. Scott also shares practical ways to protect backlog without losing momentum, how trapped cash impacts capital structure, and when it may be time to revisit product instead of relying only on incentives.

In this episode, you'll learn:

Why margin concerns today are often rooted in tomorrow's land pipeline. 2. The dashboard metrics builders should be watching when absorption slows. 3. How to calculate the real monthly cost of being in a project. 4. How trapped cash impacts capital structure and future deal flow. 5. When protecting backlog makes sense and when it becomes counterproductive. 6. Why velocity protects more than revenue. 7. How to evaluate product utility against competitors in a practical way. 8. When it is time to revisit product instead of simply cutting price.

In Episode 96 of the Land to Lots™ Podcast, Carter Froelich continues his conversation with Scott Cox, Principal of SLC Advisors and a frequent contributor to The Builder's Daily, for a candid discussion on what is really driving builder stress right now. While margins may still look acceptable on paper, many private builders feel pressure building beneath the surface. The issue is not just today's closings, but higher-basis land in the pipeline, slower absorption, and the simple reality that time is expensive.

Carter and Scott explore the difference between managing to a pro forma and managing to the market. They discuss why sales velocity often matters more than protecting the last point of margin, how to calculate the true monthly carrying cost of a community, and why that number alone can reshape pricing decisions. Scott also shares practical ways to protect backlog without losing momentum, how trapped cash impacts capital structure, and when it may be time to revisit product instead of relying only on incentives.

In this episode, you'll learn:

Why margin concerns today are often rooted in tomorrow's land pipeline. 2. The dashboard metrics builders should be watching when absorption slows. 3. How to calculate the real monthly cost of being in a project. 4. How trapped cash impacts capital structure and future deal flow. 5. When protecting backlog makes sense and when it becomes counterproductive. 6. Why velocity protects more than revenue. 7. How to evaluate product utility against competitors in a practical way. 8. When it is time to revisit product instead of simply cutting price.
