Summary
Discussions on real estate in Oakland have been about why people should start developing in the city, due to the influx of people looking for a more affordable option than San Francisco. However, it is time to shift the discussion to what is currently going on in Oakland and how to balance its booming economy while keeping long-time residents happy and maintaining the city's authenticity.
Our expert panelists will break down the various neighborhoods poised for growth and discuss what it takes to get a new project off the ground.
We’re pleased to host this timely update on new construction methods, financing strategies, construction costs, and building designs.
