What You'll Learn

  • With the notable decline in multifamily housing starts and units under construction, what strategies should developers and investors consider to effectively navigate these market challenges?
  • As rent prices continue to rise, how can multifamily developers and property managers balance the need for rent increases with tenant retention strategies?
  • In light of the decrease in multifamily units under construction and the growing supply of newly completed units, how can developers and investors adjust their strategies to align construction activities with evolving demand? What are best practices for managing labor shortages and high construction costs?
  • With the increase in vacancy rates to 6.1% and variations across metro areas, what key factors are driving these changes? How can property managers and developers address these factors to stabilize occupancy levels and optimize rental income?
  • Given Freddie Mac's forecast of muted multifamily performance due to high new supply and slow rent growth, how can investors and developers strategically position themselves for long-term growth in the multifamily sector?
  • Facing challenges such as low rental growth, rising operating expenses, and increased insurance costs, what strategies can multifamily property owners use to effectively manage margins and remain attractive to lenders?
  • Considering the upcoming election, how might these political shifts impact commercial real estate development, zoning regulations, and affordable housing availability?

 

How You'll Do More Business: The multifamily sector is facing significant challenges, with declining housing starts and units under construction, while rent prices continue to rise, impacting inflation and tenant retention. At the same time, vacancy rates have increased to 6.1%, and the market is seeing a growing supply of newly completed units. With changes in the upcoming election and its impact on commercial real estate development, zoning regulations, and the availability of affordable housing, developers and investors have been put to the test to overcome these obstacles.

Join us and industry leaders to explore these critical issues and gain insights into navigating the multifamily market in 2024 and beyond. Don’t miss this opportunity to engage with top investors, developers, owners, and policymakers at this full-day summit designed to address the most pressing challenges and opportunities in the multifamily sector.
