Why Attend Bisnow's Treasure Coast State of the Market

Once known primarily for its coastline and quiet charm, the Treasure Coast is now one of Florida’s fastest-growing and most dynamic regions. As population migration accelerates from South Florida, Orlando, Tampa, and beyond, the region finds itself at a pivotal moment rich with opportunity, but facing real decisions about how and where growth should happen.
 

Local governments, economic development organizations, and private-sector leaders agree on the need for smart growth, but definitions vary. From land use and density to infrastructure, affordability, and quality of life, the region is actively grappling with how to scale responsibly while preserving the character that makes the Treasure Coast unique.
 

This event explores the forces driving the region’s evolution: new employers, manufacturing expansion, incoming commercial air service, and major infrastructure investments alongside the challenges that accompany rapid growth. As higher-paying jobs arrive and population swells, community leaders must balance economic momentum with housing affordability, workforce needs, homelessness, transportation capacity, and access to essential services.
 

Beyond rooftops, the Treasure Coast now needs retail, healthcare, education, office space, logistics hubs, and lifestyle amenities to support a growing and diversifying population. Developers, investors, planners, and public officials will share real-time insights into market fundamentals, land constraints, capital flows, and construction realities offering a clear-eyed view of where growth is headed and where the next opportunities lie.
 

Whether you are considering investment, new development, or regional expansion, this event provides a comprehensive snapshot of the Treasure Coast’s economic trajectory and what it means for the next chapter of growth in one of Florida’s most promising markets.

 

Attendees will walk away with:
 

  • A clear understanding of the population and migration trends driving record demand for housing, jobs, and services across the Treasure Coast
  • Insight into how affordability pressures from larger metros are reshaping demographics, housing demand, and long-term planning decisions
  • Updates from economic development leaders on new employers, manufacturing growth, aviation expansion, and the industries fueling job creation
  • A realistic look at the development pipeline, from master-planned communities and residential growth to retail, medical, industrial, and mixed-use projects
  • Perspective on the region’s most pressing challenges, including infrastructure capacity, homelessness, transportation, and differing views on what “smart growth” truly means
  • Practical guidance from active developers and investors on where they see opportunity, how they’re underwriting risk, and how to navigate the Treasure Coast’s next phase of growth
