Remarks From The Podium

Why You Won't Want To Miss This Conference:

10% of ticket sales proceeds will be donated to Habitat for Humanity Greater Los Angeles ReBUILD LA® campaign, to help the LA community rebuild or relocate after the tragic wildfires.

 

What You’ll Learn: 

  • With Governor Gavin Newsom’s executive order to suspend permitting and review requirements due to LA fires, will LA residents and businesses truly be able to rebuild quicker without roadblocks?
  • How will the LA wildfires impact multifamily and commercial real estate for the years ahead?
  • How will multifamily solve for displacement of LA residents after the January 2025 wildfires?
  • With the sudden surge in new demand for multifamily units because of LA fires, will this cause an increase in multifamily rents throughout the region?
  • With the new administration known for its pro-CRE policies, how can the industry prepare for changes and opportunities to come and how will Trump affect the CRE market, and multifamily in LA?
  • Despite national trends, what factors are driving the demand for multifamily housing in Los Angeles?
  • What are the financing challenges and opportunities for multifamily developers in Los Angeles?
  • How are developers addressing economic volatility, such as inflation and increased cost of living? 
  • How are multifamily developers partnering with local communities and municipalities to address housing needs and affordability?
  • How are LA apartment owners working to maximize the value of existing assets?
