The multifamily housing market in the Midwest is booming. Chicago is leading the charge with the largest investment volume in the country, and 8,000 new units are expected to deliver this year. Smaller markets like Indianapolis and Milwaukee are also expected to see rental growth reach as high as 4.1% in 2023, with 3,600 and 2,500 units in the construction pipeline.

Despite these promising numbers, economic uncertainty and fears of a recession still loom over CRE professionals across the Midwest and beyond, leaving many wondering how the market will actually perform and how deals will get across the finish line.

How are today's multifamily deals being financed? Why, and how, should developers consider affordable housing? What amenities are tenants looking for in today’s residential units? How are developers and general contractors repurposing other assets into multifamily housing?

Learn the answer to these questions and more at Bisnow’s Multifamily Annual Conference Midwest. This event will take place at the Hyatt Centric Chicago Magnificent Mile on June 15. Register here for the event.
