What You'll Learn at This Montgomery County MD Commercial Real Estate Event

  • Thrive 2050:  How has the newest iteration of the plan impacted the county so far in terms of development? What types of growth will we expect to see?
  • What affordable housing initiatives is the county providing for new projects? How are developers working to continue creating attainable housing strategies as residents continue to relocate throughout MoCo?
  • What type of movement are we seeing in submarkets like Wheaton, Silver Spring, and Glenmont? What new developers and investors are coming into the area?
  • Aside from the increase in the life sciences sector, what other asset classes are becoming the new golden goose within Montgomery county?
  • Purple Line Construction: Although work resumed on the transit project, we still can't expect completion until Fall 2026. How will this impact the latest development projects happening in the area? Are development strategies shifting due to the delayed opening?

   

How You'll Do More CRE Business: Montgomery County continues to gain interest and attention from many investors, developers, residents, and businesses. From the latest approval of Thrive Montgomery 2050 to its newest programs for low-income residents, the region is working toward a bright future for all. Join us as we discuss the latest initiatives, economic development plans, hottest asset classes, popular neighborhoods and more!
