  • Gain insights into the developments actively reshaping Seattle and Bellevue, and how project teams are navigating evolving demand, financing pressures and construction realities.
  • Hear from leading developers and investors on where debt and equity capital is flowing today, how lenders are underwriting risk and what investment strategies are gaining traction across asset classes.
  • Explore what the permanent extension of the Opportunity Zone program means for developers and investors operating in Seattle's designated tracts, including which zones survive the 2027 redesignation and how the new rolling deferral structure changes deal economics.
  • Hear how developers and investors are adapting to changing tenant expectations, shifting workplace trends and evolving economic conditions.
  • Gain insights into how Seattle’s real estate leaders are positioning for the region’s next cycle of growth amid uncertainty surrounding interest rates, policy and capital markets.
