Why You Should Attend This Event

What You'll Learn: 

  • What creative project delivery methods are currently being employed to trim project cost in the current development pipeline?
  • What new technology and advancements are being implemented to enhance speed of delivery? 
  • How is the renewal of the Federal Opportunity Zone program diversifying the sites being considered for the next wave of developments?
  • Which area locations are underdeveloped, and which asset types are most in demand? 
  • How are local policies around building codes and the UDO being adjusted and managed to ease project completion processes?
  • Given the interest rate, trade, tariff, and economic uncertainty of 2025 - how are financing and fundraising for projects into 2026 faring? 

 

How You'll Do More Business: 

The Queen City region has seen tremendous real estate growth, with major attention paid to the market from local and institutional investors alike. Recently, challenges have arisen in project financing and execution due to a challenging financing environment, trade and tariff concerns, and a familiarization period with the 2024 UDO. The latter seems to be starting to make the difference the city intended, but alterations remain on the table as the development community continues to adjust. This event will detail upcoming adjustments being considered, will detail how active area firms are trimming project cost creatively, how the next phase of projects are being financed, and the site selection thesis behind latest investments. In all, this event will aim to provide the latest strategy in maximizing returns and keeping projects on the board to capitalize on the investment potential of this key market. 

 

Who You'll Network With: Commercial Real Estate developers, investors, lenders, elected officials, general contractors, architects, engineers, brokers, and other industry experts.
