Daniel Nackerman

Daniel Nackerman has advanced in a career that effectively touches the lives of seniors, low-income families, those who were homeless, and those who were often left behind. Dan Nackerman has been in leadership positions in housing development and housing program management for over 30 years. He started in architecture, urban planning and project management for the Princeton Group in San Francisco for 8 years developing luxury apartments and renovating historic buildings utilizing tax credits. Mr. Nackerman then held senior positions at 6 progressive housing authorities over the past 26 years including Deputy Director, Executive Director or CEO positions in Richmond, CA; Contra Costa County, CA; Marin County, CA; and San Bernardino County, CA – as well as a senior management position at Oakland, CA. At these agencies, Daniel gained extensive experience in affordable housing financing and development which includes at least 38 successful projects. He launched parallel programs in education, health, and employment. One consistent trait has been to launch new initiatives locally such as the “No Child Left Unsheltered” effort in San Bernardino County, California for homeless families and “The Phoenix Project” for young men involved in crime in Marin City, California. Dan is a leader on several national Boards and has been recognized in the housing and social work “industries” many times. Mr. Nackerman holds a bachelor’s degree from Michigan State University and has completed specialized training in several areas of housing management, project management, social work and construction. In mid-2016 Dan took the present positions at HAME as President and at the Housing Authority of the City of Salt Lake (HASLC) as Executive Director. Nackerman is leading that agency of 115 employees managing approximately 3,500 multi-family homes through programs or directly. The agency houses approximately 10,000 Salt Lake valley citizens, most of whom are seniors, children or persons with disabilities. HASLC is a particular leader in housing seniors, veterans and homeless when compared to the other 3,500 Housing Authorities in the U.S.

WHY YOU CAN'T MISS THIS:

What You’ll Learn:

As SLC's multifamily pipeline matures, how are developers and architects rethinking unit mix, building design, and amenity programming to compete in a market where renters have had the upper hand? What design choices are driving lease-up velocity — and what's already feeling dated?
With 9,000+ units projected to deliver across the Wasatch Front by 2028 and new starts cratering, which SLC submarkets are best positioned as supply peaks — and what does the timing mean for developers still in the pipeline?
After a 195% surge in SLC transaction volume in 2024 ($785M) and Centerspace's $149M Sugarmont acquisition, marking the market's largest apartment deal in five years, what is bringing institutional capital back — and how are buyers underwriting deals as concessions finally burn off?
As SLC rents resume growth for the first time in two years, how are owners repositioning assets for a tighter supply environment — and what operational and leasing strategies are actually moving NOI?
Utah has just 30 affordable homes available for every 100 extremely low-income renter households. How are developers, city officials, and the SLC Community Reinvestment Agency using new tools — the December 2025 RMF zoning overhaul, $8.1M in fresh housing development loans, and emerging public-private structures — to produce workforce and affordable housing that actually pencils?

How You’ll Do More Business: SLC's renter-age demographic is growing faster than any major metro west of Texas, deal flow is recovering, and the policy environment is shifting in ways that create real opportunity — and real complexity. This event puts you in the room with the developers, investors, and officials making decisions that will define SLC's housing landscape for the next decade.

Who You’ll Network With: Developers, apartment owners, investors, capital markets advisors, city officials, property managers, architects, and service providers actively building, buying, and financing multifamily assets across the Wasatch Front.

Why You Should Attend: Bisnow events bring together the biggest power players in the industry to help you identify opportunities, build your network and expand your business. With the largest audience of commercial real estate professionals in the world, no one knows how to help your business more than we do.
