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

What You'll Learn From This Multifamily & Residential Event:

  • What is the current supply and demand for multifamily in Alameda County and Contra Costa County? 
  • Where is affordable housing being built, and how can it be dispersed throughout Oakland, Berkeley, Emeryville, Alameda, San Leandro and surrounding cities? 
  • Are we seeing an increase in conversion projects compared to ground-up construction in the East Bay? 
  • How are developers addressing economic volatility, such as inflation and increased cost of living? 
  • How are multifamily owners and developers adapting as resident and tenant demands change? Which tenant demands are trending and which are here to stay for the long run?
  • What new amenities are tenants asking for? Which amenities are taking priority?
  • Building the capital stack has been one of the main challenges in multifamily development in the past year. How are developers and investors creatively constructing their capital stack in today’s challenging environment?
  • Where in East Bay are developers and investors finding the most opportunity to deploy capital in today’s market?
