Why You Can't Miss Our First Affordable Housing Conversation in Nashville
What You'll Learn:
- With Mayor Freddie O'Connell's recent announcement of the Unified Housing Strategy, how can Nashville's local developers and investors collaborate with city officials to provide more housing opportunities to Nashville's residents?
- From local partnerships to London-based or national firms, why are major owners and developers choosing Nashville for affordable projects and acquisitions?
- Amid today's market volatility, which investors and lenders are getting affordable deals done, and how are firms getting creative with financing, partnerships and more to get deals to pencil?
- Which submarkets are ripe for affordable development and opportunity, and how does community development and buy-in impact the success and progress of these projects?
- Short term and long term: How are Nashville's business leaders approaching the city's housing crisis, and what is needed to fix the Music City's affordability crisis?
Why This Matters:
In years past, Nashville earnestly pushed for residents to move to the city with open arms -- at one point using a metric of 100 residents per day moving to the Music City to attract those interested to make the move. Now, however, with the city facing soaring property values — a 45% median increase over the last four years — and housing demand that continues to outpace supply, all signs are pointing to a housing crisis on the horizon. With residents continuing to move to Nashville, paired with continued job growth, and contrasted with project pipeline delays, high construction costs, and labor shortages, join Bisnow for our first affordable housing dedicated conversation in Nashville to unpack the policy, pipeline and people changing the affordability story in the Music City.
Who You'll Meet: Top city officials, owners, developers, investors and providers passionate about bringing more affordability to Nashville.
