Bisnow Multifamily Annual Conference Phoenix (BMAC)

Where Phoenix Multifamily Stands at the Inflection — Navigating the Supply Hangover, Unlocking the Recovery, and Positioning for the Next Cycle

Coming in October 2026

Presented By

Why You Won't Want To Miss This Conference:

What You'll Learn:

  • How Phoenix's historic supply wave is finally thinning — starts fell 50% in 2025, and completions will drop another 25% in 2026 — and what the road back to rent growth actually looks like submarket by submarket across the Valley
  • Where vacancy, concessions, and absorption stand today across Downtown Phoenix, Tempe, the West Valley, North Scottsdale, and the TSMC North Valley corridor — and which submarkets are recovering first and why
  • What operators are actually doing to win leases and retain residents when the comp across the street is offering two months free — the branding, tech, and retention strategies separating out-performers from the rest of the market
  • How Phoenix multifamily owners are protecting NOI in a margin compression environment — from utility billing restructuring and staffing model changes to AI-driven maintenance workflows and vendor renegotiation
  • What the capital stack looks like for Phoenix deals in 2026 — agency debt pricing, bridge structures, seller-carry and JV equity, and how experienced sponsors are closing transactions when traditional underwriting no longer pencils out
  • How LIHTC reform, the Housing Phoenix Plan, and rising attainability pressure are reshaping the affordable and workforce housing pipeline — and what deal structures are actually getting built
  • What the TSMC semiconductor campus, ASU's talent pipeline, and continued in-migration mean for the next development cycle — and how developers are designing and underwriting products for the Phoenix of 2031 onwards

 

You'll Network With:

  • Owners & Operators — national institutional platforms, regional owner-operators, and private investors with active conventional, and value-add portfolios across the Phoenix metro
  • Developers — local and out-of-market firms with projects delivered, under construction, or in the pipeline across Downtown Phoenix, the West Valley, North Valley TSMC corridor, and East Valley submarkets
  • Brokers & Investment Sales Teams — multifamily investment sales specialists, leasing advisors, and land brokers active across Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa, and the West Valley
  • Capital Markets & Lenders — construction lenders, bridge debt providers, agency debt advisors, preferred equity and JV equity partners, and investment sales advisors active in Phoenix multifamily transactions
  • Architects, Engineers & Contractors — the design and construction firms delivering the next generation of Phoenix garden, mid-rise, BTR, and mixed-use residential product
  • Property Management & PropTech — third-party management companies, leasing technology platforms, utility management providers, and AI operations tools serving the Phoenix market
  • Legal, Financial & Advisory Services — the attorneys, tax advisors, entitlement consultants, and financial advisors who structure deals, navigate zoning, and keep complex projects on track
