What You Will Learn?
• Which mega developments are expected to have the most significant impact on Chicago and what innovative measures are being incorporated by the masterminds behind them?
• In projects where both new buildings are developed, and preexisting structures are revitalized, what lengths are developers going to ensure that projects integrate seamlessly into the fabric of the community?
• How much higher will steel tariffs and immigration reform push construction costs and what will the impact on the community be as developers struggle to meet required margins?
• With recent reports of a significant flood risk in Chicago, does more need to be done to mitigate flood risk and how will investor appetite be impacted?
