Southeast has become a magnet for companies seeking talent and residents seeking mild weather with an affordable cost of living leading to massive apartment demand across Northern Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, the Carolinas and Alabama. With 60% of national job growth occurring across the Southeast, the region has become the land of opportunity for investors and developers alike. While some markets are booming and construction costs continue to rise, how can multifamily leaders ensure their ground-up development are mitigating risk when it comes to changes in supply versus demand or major changes to the local or national economy.

Track A – The Land of Honey: Getting Deals Done from Active Equity Sources & Lenders

As multifamily investment yields in New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles and similar markets stagnate, investors are increasingly looking to the Southeast for new apartment investment and development, encouraged by the strong economic and job growth, as well as higher yields. Yet, despite a bullish multifamily market in the region, not all deals are created equal and the equity providers and lenders continue to be extremely selective. As attractive as the Southeast may be, the question on everyone’s minds remains – how much longer will this cycle continue? What are multifamily investors and operators looking at today and what do developers need to be aware of?

Track B – Southern Hospitality 2.0: PropTech & Management Innovations to Maximize NOI

In a region where cranes are everywhere, renters have more choices than ever and operators are under more pressure to attract and retain both residents and talented property management staff. Renters have choices in every facet of their lives, and they expect the same when it comes to where they live and the technologies they have access to. At the same time, amenities and services are becoming more and more expensive. At what point do the operating costs become too high to yield necessary NOI?

Track A – Southern Charm: The Next Stage of Multifamily Construction & Design across the Southeast

With soaring construction costs and residents wanting local yet hip style as well as eco-friendly design, which construction techniques are offering solutions to today’s contemporary needs and challenges. How are innovative players in the region tackling zoning and cost barriers as well as changing needs for renters?

Track B – High Hanging Fruit: Adapting Value-Add Strategies to Maximize Returns

As value-add opportunities become less visible, investors are in search of new strategies to identify and enhance assets to compete with new development players. How are the major value-add players finding today’s high-yielding opportunities and adding value that gives them the highest return?
