NoVa Multi-Family & Single-Family Development, Financing, and Leasing
With financing for office and retail all but dried up, residential stands out as one asset class where deals are getting done.  Fundamentals are improving, assets are beginning to trade again, and demand for rental product has increased nationally.

Never has it been more important to understand this dynamic market. How will residential projects fare in 2010? Will capital loosen up? What will the fate be of Fannie and Freddie this year, and how will it affect the multifamily market? With land beginning to trade again, 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 Northern Virginia’s Multifamily and Singlefamily real estate sector May 25 at the beautiful Ritz-Carlton Tysons Corner to gain invaluable information, insight, and (of course) schmooze time.
