Why You Should Attend this DFW MPC CRE Event

What We’ll Cover:

  • North Texas MPC Market Snapshot: Current performance across DFW master planned communities, including lot absorption, permitting cycles, builder activity, inventory conditions, and demand trends by submarket.
  • Scaling Communities Through Capital and Partnerships: How developers and investors are structuring deals today to finance large-scale MPCs, including joint venture models, lender expectations, risk allocation, and strategies for long-term phasing and delivery.
  • Infrastructure and Resource Strategy: How roads, utilities, drainage, and long-term water and power capacity are shaping where MPCs can grow, with a focus on infrastructure funding tools, public-private coordination, and timing constraints that impact deliverability.
  • Resident Experience as a Differentiator: How community design is evolving, including the amenity features and programming that actually drive absorption and pricing power, along with placemaking strategies that build identity and long-term stickiness.
  • Product Mix and Affordability Pressure: How home types, floorplans, and design choices are shifting across price points, and how teams are balancing buyer expectations with construction efficiency, cost realities, and long-term value.
  • Mixed-Use, Density, and the Next Generation of MPC Planning: How MPCs are integrating retail and services and higher-density nodes to create convenience and activation, and what planning and design choices make these components successful in the DFW context.
  • Constraints, Risk, and Keeping Projects Moving: The real bottlenecks affecting MPC delivery today, including entitlement timelines, construction costs, labor and material volatility, and utility delays, and how teams are mitigating risk while maintaining speed.
  • Coalitions and Long Range Planning: How cities, counties, and regional stakeholders are aligning on growth plans, development standards, and infrastructure priorities to support multi-year MPC delivery and reduce friction over time.
  • Operations, HOA Strategy, and Protecting Long Term Value: How community management, services, maintenance standards, and resident communication strategies are impacting satisfaction, retention, and long-term asset performance as MPCs mature.
