Why This Matters

What You'll Learn:

  • With a boom in downtown residents and a number of events and projects in Chicago that are expected to bring economic development, how is the industry capitalizing on these opportunities?
  • How is Mayor Brandon Johnson's administration investing in the city's future, and where is room for collaboration with the CRE community? 
  • What projects are industry leaders, across all asset and building classes, currently topping out? What is in their pipelines for the rest of 2023?
  • What is the status of high-profile developments like Bally's Casino and Lincoln Yards?
  • How is the number of notable properties in distress and commercial real estate loan maturations affecting owners, investors, and lenders?
  • What developments, building designs and capital market trends are we seeing at the national level — and how is that impacting the Chicago market?

 

How You'll Do More Business:

Despite what some may think, Chicago is the nation's leading city for commercial real estate investment for the tenth year in a row. But with a new mayor and an economic slowdown, how is the Windy City continuing to champion development and investment? Find out where Chicago stands, where the opportunities are and how the economy and city policies and initiatives are affecting today’s development and tenant landscape. Gain insights on trends and market predictions from the top developers, investors, brokers and tenants across CRE and grow your understanding of today’s real estate market.
