Why You Can't Miss this Event

What We'll Cover:

  • The key projects, proposals, and progressions shaping Chicagoland adaptive reuse, conversion, and more.
  • The neighborhoods and asset classes ripe for repositioning, and the characteristics they offer that make them so.
  • How owners, architects, and GCs weigh whether a building is worth pivoting, versus tearing down and building net-new?
  • The role of capital planning and financial strategy in assessing a repositioning project, and best practices for staying on track.
  • The latest policy incentives, city initiatives, and public sector sentiment towards successful repositioning projects
  • Chicago's unique role in the repositioning landscape, and what comes next on the city's trajectory of innovation.

 

How You'll Do More Business

Amidst a dramatic reimagining of the Lasalle Street corridor and in the shadow of a complex economic and construction landscape, Chicago's repositioning and adaptive reuse environment offers equal parts challenge and opportunity for those looking to reimagine what a modern city can be. Yet as owners reconsider the intended use of their buildings and city officials weigh the financial and historic considerations around crafting something new, questions remain on how to complete projects and get deals done in ways that are equal parts productive and financially viable. This winter, join Bisnow and the city's CRE leaders for a conversation on finding pathways to success on this road towards a vision of ambitious change.
