How You'll Do More Business in Austin:
Austin remains one of the nation’s most dynamic real-estate markets. As of 2025, the city’s metro population stands at about 2,313,000, and the metro continues to grow, with the region adding new residents year over year. The region is also seeing continued economic momentum. Austin’s unemployment rate remains low, and the metro continues to add jobs across hospitality, services, tech, and professional sectors, maintaining its position as one of the strongest-performing large U.S. economies in 2025.
However, development conditions are more challenging: construction costs remain elevated, entitlement timelines are unpredictable, and infrastructure constraints continue to shape what and where projects can move forward. Industry leaders note these pressures are reshaping feasibility and requiring new approaches to design, phasing, and capital structuring.
In this environment, 2026 becomes a defining moment. Join Bisnow to examining where growth is happening, how experience-driven demand is evolving, where real estate remains viable, and what it now takes to successfully deliver projects in today’s market.
Who You’ll Meet: Owners, developers, investors, landholders, brokers, capital providers, construction and general contracting firms, architects, engineers, planners, hospitality and restaurant operators, entertainment and experiential concept leaders, district and mobility stakeholders, city and government officials, economic development leaders, attorneys, consultants, lenders and banking professionals, and technology and design innovators.
