Dallas State Of The Market 2021 | Bisnow | 26 January 2021 | Digital Summit

While no city has been unaffected by the pandemic, Dallas has positioned itself to come out of the pandemic strong. Major players like Kaizen Development Partners, Billingsley Company, Granite Properties and Hines continue to pour large amounts of capital into DFW. And of course there is DFW’s golden child, the industrial sector, which continues to prosper. So why does everyone want to be in Dallas? How long can the city keep this up before it becomes oversaturated? How is the city positioning itself to attract major companies during this very uncertain time? Hear from all the major players behind the projects transforming the DFW skyline. Topics for discussion include:

• If developers could buy or pick up land anywhere in the DFW Metroplex right now, where would they go and what would they build?
• What retail concepts are developers looking for when it comes to new mixed-use products around DFW? What opportunities are there for retailers and entertainment venues to lock in spots at prime development sites?
• The coronavirus has sped up trends we were already seeing. Which of these trends are going to change the CRE landscape for years to come?
• How is Dallas positioning itself to be a major hub for corporate relocation? How can it position itself against other large cities?
• Is there capital out there for development and acquisitions? How has underwriting changed in the past few months?

In addition, we're excited to bring you 3 ways to network during the digital summit.

• You'll be able to take part in video-enabled speed networking to meet with like-minded individuals and spark warm leads
• You can also send 1-1 chats to start a conversation or share your digital business card
