Suburban Urbanization: How the Real Estate Market is Redefining the Suburbs

  • How can developers “re-invent” the suburbs?
  • Where are the opportunities?
  • How important is “walkability” for future projects?
  • “Millennial-Proofing”: What are developers doing to retain their prized tenants as they get older?

The Next Big Thing: Emerging Neighborhoods

Whether it’s the Motor Row, the South Loop, or the Milwaukee Corridor, multifamily investors are increasingly aware of the need to explore opportunities in new submarkets; both geographically and demographically.

Hear from those in the trenches about the target markets where they see the greatest opportunities.

  • Where is the next “big thing”?
  • What will the new TOD rules do to help grow new neighborhoods?
  • What makes a neighborhood truly up-and-coming?
