NIMBY vs. Infinite Demand: The Apartment Industry Outlook across Northern California
Northern California economics, demographics, job growth, IPOs, wage trends and wildfires ensure nearly infinite demand for additional housing. And yet the ever-present roadblock of NIMBYism combined with more recent political pressure to establish rent controls locally and statewide also ensure that supply will remain constrained and demand unsatisfied. What can multifamily industry leaders do to meet demand for rental apartments while keeping rents affordable?

Track A – The Right Ingredients: Perspectives on Raising Capital from Active Equity Sources & Lenders
It’s been said that economics cycles don’t die of old age, yet the current expansion has been going strong for 10+ years, one of the longest in history. In addition the treasury is bouncing between 50-75 basis points lower than it was a year ago. Over $250B in dry powder is chasing real estate details, with multifamily as the prime target. How do these conditions play out for multifamily investors and operators today?

Track B – Innovation Nation: Emerging Technologies & Best Practices in Multifamily Property Management
With rent claiming an ever higher percentage of income, tenants increasingly look to their landlords to provide services and amenities previously provided off site by third parties. And where possible, multifamily operators step up in an effort to outdo the competition and attract the highest paying and most loyal tenants. However, higher rents correlate with increased unit turnover, creating a conundrum that pushes down annual net income despite higher average rent per square foot on new leases. What are some of the innovative best practices that maximize the benefit to landlord AND tenant?

Track A – The New, New Value-Add Playbook: Updated Strategies to Rethink the Rehab Game
Value-add opportunities that once existed in large numbers are diminishing rapidly as we approach the end of the cycle, with most low hanging fruit already harvested. Standard practice of buying up and improving product from the 80s, 90s and even 2000s has become increasingly difficult to execute. Add to that “bad actors” who have used value-add strategies to increase rents by 300%+ generating a state-wide backlash and the specter of rent control, and suddenly the dog-eared value-add playbook no longer appear to work at scale anymore. What is the new recipe for low-risk, high-return multifamily investment?

Track B – Tariffs, Wildfires & City Councils (Oh My!): Secrets of Multifamily Design & Construction
Nowhere in the country is it harder to get approval for and construct new apartments than Northern California, and the San Francisco Bay Area, specifically. Anti-development sentiment from home-owners (voters), materials & labor costs (tariffs & taxes) and even climate change are seemingly conspiring (colluding?) to make it nearly impossible to build or rebuild apartment properties. How do savvy and experienced players use little-known design and construction strategies to make an end run around barriers that are simply too high for everyone else?

Renters Endgame: — Potential Regulatory Issues Impacting Multifamily
While the effort to overturn Costa-Hawkins was defeated by California voters last November, the movement to add rent control measures continues to heat up as a new version of “Prop 10” is expected to hit the ballots once again in 2020, while local municipalities are already taking matters into their own hands. In addition, growing pro-tenant legislation such COPA and SP15 continue to create uncertainty when it comes to the future of housing across the region. What do multifamily owners need to know and what decisions should they be making to ensure the health of multifamily and their investments are protected?
