Never has it been more important to understand this dynamic market. How will residential projects fare in 2010? Will capital loosen up? Will there be support from Federal Government spending? What will the fate be of GSEs this year, and how will it affect the multifamily market? Will land begin to trade again, and if so, what are the trends to look for in 2010? How will the recent uptick in home building and home pricing affect other parts of the market?
Join Bisnow and the leaders of Chicago and the nation's leading Multifamily real estate sector February 19 at the beautiful Oak Room at the Metropolitan Club to gain invaluable information, insight, and (of course) schmooze time.
