Summary

Transit oriented development keeps taking shape across the river from NYC.  Luxury apartment and condo communities are being created in traditional suburbia.  Revitalized affordable is sprouting up in the urban core everywhere from Camden to Newark.  It seems like no matter where you look, New Jersey is awash with multifamily opportunities.  Join Bisnow and real estate pros from across the Garden State as we break down the investment and development trends to watch in 2016, featuring an opening interview with legend Carl Goldberg.  As always, expect plenty of breakfast and networking before the panels.  We look forward to seeing you there!
