Additionally, with interest rates reaching up to 6%, there is strong demand for renting over financing. Join us to learn how industry leaders are capitalizing on land opportunity, re-designing master-planned communities and mixed-use developments. See how companies strategize quality, affordability, amenities, architecture, and design to stay at the top of residential demand.
