Why You Won't Want To Miss This CRE Deal-Making Event:

What You'll Learn From This Commercial Real Estate Conference:

  • What people, projects and places are shaping Midwest C&D for 2024? What asset classes are the most eye-catching?
  • What's the role of site selection in a complex construction market? What neighborhoods are developers eyeing for new projects?
  • What types of amenities and characteristics are drawing the most interest from investors? What are the particular niches, updates or opportunities that potential partners find appealing?
  • What neighborhoods are the bellwethers for successful construction and development? Where are the city's top projects breaking ground? 
  • How will the evolution of the Chicago market influence the broader real estate landscape and economic trajectory of the area? Where can other cities learn from Chicago, and vice versa?
  • How are high interest rates and other economic headwinds affecting office development and tenant retention operations?
  • From what markets can Chicago take lessons? Are there best practices from areas like the sun belt that can bring about success in the Midwest too?
  • How can developers, owners and investors navigate complex funding and regulatory environments? What can these two sides of the market do to better collaborate?

 

How You'll Do More Business From Attending This Summit:

As the market takes tepid steps towards reawakening, Chicago’s construction and development industries face equal parts challenge and opportunity in their mandate to rethink and reimagine the client, customer and tenant experience. From growth in industrial subclasses to continued concerns about office, the problems facing the Midwest are matched only by the opportunities that await it, properly leveraged.

This July, join Bisnow as we convene leaders from across the country to discuss key projects shaping the C&D landscape, the companies envisioning them and what Chicago, despite its progress, can still learn from other markets in the space.

 

Who You'll Network With At This Discussion: Owners, developers, investors, brokers, business consultants, architects, engineers, designers,  lawyers, accountants, bankers and city and government officials.
