Over those 23 years, he was responsible for the design of over 6000 apartment units, in 14 different cities which totaled over 1 Billion in development cost. His pioneering design efforts include the first multi-family, mixed-income building in the U.S. to incorporate Universal Design features in every unit, one of the first affordable housing developments to be certified under the Enterprise Green Communities Criteria, and one of the first mixed-income rental developments to achieve LEED for Homes certification and LEED for Neighborhood Development certification.

David Fournier

David Fournier, Principal David Fournier has 25+ years of experience in affordable multifamily housing. A pioneer in the formal brokerage of Year 15 LIHTC and HUD subsidized properties, David founded the affordable housing groups at Insignia/ESG (now CBRE) and HFF (now JLL). In 2007, David joined ARA (Apartment Realty Advisors) to start their National Affordable Housing practice. ARA was purchased by Newmark in 2015 where David served as an Executive Managing Director until retiring from the brokerage industry. In 2017, David founded FishPond Development to focus on impactful affordable housing developments. In its first year, FishPond received its first two 9% Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) awards from the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs: FishPond at Cuero, a 48-unit senior community in Cuero Texas, and FishPond at Portland, a 60-unit senior community in Portland, Texas. Both properties were successfully completed and well received by the communities. In 2021, the Company completed and stabilized another 48-unit senior affordable LIHTC community in Huntsville, Texas. FishPond recently completed construction of FishPond at Corpus Christi, an $18 million, 112-unit senior community in Corpus Christi, Texas. The development was financed using tax exempt bonds, 4% LIHTC, and a Section 8 housing subsidy. The development, which has a complicated multi-layered financing structure, received tremendous community support as it relocates senior and disabled residents from an existing 1920’s structure in poor condition and functionally obsolete to a new four-story over podium Class A building. FishPond recently broke ground on a 69-unit multi-story senior housing community in Alice Texas on the site of former Alice Hospital. The Alice Hospital sat vacant for 20+ years after several failed attempts at renovation or demolition. The total development budget for FishPond Alice is $12 million. In addition to the $60+ million of new construction through its FishPond entities, David has been an active investor in apartment communities nationally. David holds a degree in Real Estate Finance from the University of New Orleans and the MAI appraisal designation. Over his career, he has been a panelist at several affordable housing conferences and previously served on the Board of Directors at the National Housing and Rehabilitation Association.

What You'll Learn About Austin's Multifamily Market & Developments

Rental rates: How are owners incentivizing residents to renew leases despite climbing costs?
How are inflation and climbing interest rates, paired with construction costs, labor challenges and supply shortages impacting the timeline and delivery of multifamily units? How are these hikes in interest rates impacting investment and development decisions?
As economists warn of a looming recession, how are owners and investors financing new deals in multifamily or working to future-proof their portfolios before the end of the year?
Based on residential demands and data, how are today's owners and operators reconsidering management, operations, proptech, layouts and more?
Are market leaders seeing demand put capital to work? Given where we are with inflation, is there interest from institutional capital?
Where are we in the cycle and how is it affecting lending?
Austin is growing at an unprecedented rate. What major issues need to be addressed by policymakers to ensure we have the infrastructure to handle the mass migration of people?
The elephant in the room: How do we keep Austin affordable?
Urban vs. Suburban: Where are you chasing your next deal?

How You'll Do More Business in Austin Multifamily: With interest rates increasing, inflation continuing to rise, and a possible recession, there are a lot of unknowns. So how is Austin, one of the hottest real estate markets in the country, fairing with all this uncertainty? As mortgage rates rise and housing prices climb, Austin continues to struggle with meeting demand and creating affordable housing options. Join us as we not only discuss the newest projects but dive into how market leaders are meeting the insane demand, the type of product that’s seeing the most investment and how to truly make your mark in an industry undergoing rapid change. This event will cover Austin's multifamily market, new developments and acquisitions, supply and demand dynamics, the increased interest rate, inflation, construction, development, and design trends.

Who You’ll Meet: Owners, developers, investors, brokers, city and government officials, business consultants, architects, engineers, lawyers, accountants, bankers and technology company leaders.
