What You'll Learn

What You’ll Learn:

  • Hear from top investors and lenders on where institutional capital is re-entering the NorCal market, how deals are being structured today, and what it takes to get transactions across the finish line.
  • Gain insight into how developers and builders are navigating cost escalation, entitlement tools, and site selection to determine what projects still pencil in NorCal today.
  • Discover how operators are running high-performing assets in a tightening market, from setting rents and managing costs to retaining residents in a record-rent environment.
  • Learn how developers and nonprofits are financing, building, and preserving affordable and workforce housing across Northern California amid new state and federal funding dynamics.
  • Explore the design, amenity, and delivery strategies behind NorCal's top-performing luxury assets and what's driving demand at the high end of the market.
  • Gain insight into who is renting across Northern California, where demand is concentrating, and how operators are using data and leasing strategies to drive retention and occupancy.

 

How You’ll Do More Business: Northern California's multifamily market is at an inflection point with vacancy having dropped to 4.4%, the lowest since 2014, and average rents have hit a record $3,200 per month. Institutional capital is returning, and AI-sector employment is reshaping demand. Join us for a full day of candid conversations on where the market is headed and how to position your business for what's next.

 

Who You’ll Meet During Networking: Owners, developers, investors, brokers, city and government officials, business consultants, architects, engineers, lawyers, accountants, and bankers.
