WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
1. According to PWC’s “Emerging Trends in Real Estate 2019” Report, Seattle’s population is set to grow at twice the national rate in 2019. How will this affect the city with regards to traffic, livability, cost of living, etc.?

2. Similar to The Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, CA (350 events in its inaugural year, hosting 1.6 million attendees who spent more than $71M in downtown Sacramento), what economic impact can residents expect from the potential arrival of the NHL?

3. What impact – from home-selling platforms to building management and design – will Machine Learning, AI, and continued inroads by tech firms and startups have on the commercial real estate space?

4. Which notable new developments set to come online in 2019 will have the biggest impact on the market?

5. What neighborhoods in and around Seattle are ready for investment and development?

WHY THIS MATTERS
2018's #3 U.S. city for foreign investment, Seattle, is in the midst of a modern renaissance. The condo boom is more real than its ever been – with 5,000 units in the work across Seattle – Amazon is doubling down in Bellevue (ushering thousands of employees East in the process), and the NHL may be filling the NBA's void.

Though not all that glitters is gold. Seattle's population is set to grow at double the national rate in 2019 while rent in the broader metro area has risen by 69 percent since 2010, compared to the national average of 32.
