WHY ATTEND

What You'll Learn:

  • What key trends, projects, and developments are leaders planning for across Detroit? What makes the city unique? 
  • What new or proposed developments are bellwethers for the Detroit market? Are there particular niches, updates, or opportunities that developers, or even tenants, find appealing?
  • How are developers and tenants working together to transform the city? What can be learned from the more successful real estate partnerships?
  • In the context of a fast-changing market, how can investors stay attuned to the latest financial priorities and opportunities of Detroit development?
  • What are the barriers to entry in the Detroit market? How can developers, owners, and investors make progress?
  • How are high interest rates and other economic headwinds affecting city development and expansion operations? 
  • How are property owners ensuring flexibility in their developments and accommodating potential shifts in market demand or changes in regional dynamics?
  • How do large developments like The District and Cadillac Square impact the surrounding communities?
  • How has real estate investment and development been changed by Detroit’s changing national profile? How can the city evolve to meet the changing needs of businesses and the community?
  • What considerations should be made in design and construction of new and even existing spaces as developers plan explore new projects?

 

How You’ll Do More Business:

The rebirth of Detroit as a thriving midwestern metropolis has served as an inspiration for political and professional leaders across the country, and is the type of story that can only happen when leaders engage at the intersection of real estate, community engagement, and public policy. As it seeks to build anew  and while also preserving the ideas that best exemplify its ingenuity, leaders across the development, investment, and design industries are eager to get involved, and to learn what’s next.

What steps have professionals taken to reimagine the city, and of what trends are they still mindful? What buildings, designs, and projects best exemplify the city’s innovation? And how is the market learning from lessons of the past as it builds for the future? In this year’s Detroit State of the Market, Bisnow welcomes top leaders from across the city to explore the past, present, and future of one of America’s most inspiring and resilient cities.

 

Who You'll Network With At This Event: Owners, developers, investors, brokers, business consultants, architects, engineers, designers,  lawyers, accountants, bankers and city and government officials.
