Bisnow's BMAC Midwest multifamily conference is well underway today after kicking off last night with a cocktail reception for sponsors and speakers at Fifield Cos' NEXT apartments (347 West Chestnut), presented by Xfinity Communities & First Service Residential and hosted by Fifield Cos.

Belgravia Group CEO Alan Lev (left with Marquette Cos president Darren Sloniger and Marquette Cos EVP Trevor Ryan) smiled extra wide for the camera. Alan told Bisnow that Belgravia just sold out its latest condo project in River North before he arrived at the party.

Bond Cos president Rob Bond (left with Fifield Cos CEO Steve Fifield) told us his firm's redevelopment of the former Gonnella baking plant site in River West is ahead of schedule. The project includes 363 apartments, a supermarket and a 15-story building.

Our event was presented by Xfinity Communities and First Service Residential and hosted by Fifield Companies. Here are Xfinity Communities' Sara Webb, Bryant Taylor, Andy Schnack and Ted Esler.

Here are KTGY Architecture + Planning principals Craig Pryde and David Kennedy and Stocking Urban principal Nick Stocking surely coming up with hot new design strategies.
