What You'll Learn:

What You’ll Learn:

  • Gain insights into how multifamily investment is shifting across Seattle, Bellevue, and Portland — and which submarkets are seeing the strongest rent growth, development pipelines, and transaction activity.
  • Explore how builders are adapting project delivery models to address cost escalation, labor shortages, and supply chain challenges while leveraging innovation and collaboration.
  • Examine how the Pacific Northwest is tackling its affordable housing crisis, including how Seattle’s Housing Levy and Portland’s inclusionary zoning policies are shaping project feasibility, design, and delivery.
  • Understand how operators are redefining the resident experience in competitive markets like South Lake Union and the Pearl District, with technology, amenities, and community engagement driving retention and performance.
  • Discover how shifting renter demographics — from younger renters flocking to urban cores near transit to older residents seeking suburban lifestyle options — are influencing the next wave of multifamily development in the region.

 

How You’ll Do More Business: In the Pacific Northwest’s multifamily market, rising costs, regulatory hurdles, and shifting renter demands are reshaping what it takes to get deals done. Join us to hear directly from the region’s top investors, developers, architects, and operators on the strategies driving performance across Seattle, Portland, and beyond.

 

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