What You'll Learn

  • With multifamily construction slowing and the number of units under construction down 27% year-over-year, how are developers and investors adapting their strategies to align with shifting supply and demand dynamics?
  • As vacancy rates increased to 6.6% in Q4 2024, what factors are driving these changes, and how can property owners and managers adjust their leasing and retention strategies to maintain occupancy and rental income?
  • Rental prices continue to climb, with Northern Virginia seeing a 4.4% increase in rent. How can developers and operators balance affordability and tenant retention?
  • As master-planned communities evolve to incorporate mixed-use development, infrastructure planning and placemaking, how are they addressing shifting demographic needs and economic trends?
  • With a 36% decline in new multifamily unit deliveries, what financing strategies, joint ventures, and alternative funding models are available to move projects forward?
  • How are developers navigating rising construction costs, labor shortages and regulatory hurdles while ensuring the successful delivery of multifamily and mixed-use projects?

 

Why This Matters:

Northern Virginia’s multifamily sector is at a pivotal moment, with a sharp decline in construction activity, increasing vacancies and rising rents reshaping market fundamentals. Meanwhile, master-planned communities are adapting to new economic realities, integrating residential, commercial, and public spaces to create thriving, mixed-use environments. This summit will bring together top developers, investors, lenders and policymakers to examine the future of multifamily and master-planned communities in Northern Virginia. Gain actionable insights into market trends, financing solutions, and development opportunities while connecting with key decision-makers driving the region’s growth.

 

Who You’ll Meet: NoVa's multifamily experts, investors, owners, developers, lenders, brokers, public sector companies, city officials, architects, contractors, engineers, property managers and more!
