At EPA, Bruce leads the institutional underwriting, debt and credit perspective.
His role is to test whether a project's financial assumptions, development budget, leverage and exit strategy would withstand the type of scrutiny applied by an experienced real estate lender.
While a developer may focus on upside potential, Bruce helps the team ask:
What happens if costs increase, the schedule slips, sales slow or the exit value comes in below expectations?
This lender-style discipline helps the team evaluate whether a project's financial assumptions and capital structure remain defensible under more conservative scenarios.
