Portland Multifamily Investment And Development Summit 2018 | Bisnow | 22 February 2018 | The Nines, 525 SW Morrison St, Portland, OR 97204, USA

Kicking off 2018 one of the lingering questions surrounding Portland remains; can the city continue to grow and what are the impediments to growth?

Don’t get me wrong, every city has is shortcomings when it relates to stimulating development. Some cities don’t have the infrastructure and others simply aren’t offering the right incentives. In Portland, we have a mix of both. Jeff Smith, founder of J.T. Smith Companies, a well-known developer in Portland reflected to the Portland Tribune, “Portland's process is slower and more complicated than any other city we work in. It's a magnitude of difference…we cannot work in Portland. We cannot predict our costs.” Time kills all deals, and sadly a prominent local developer is hedging his bets on this market. In time, maybe the structure can change, but we shall wait and see.

What You'll Learn?
1) Amenities of the future! How are amenities changing the landscape of residential & multifamily investing and developing?
2) What cycle are we in? Are owners looking for higher cap rates in the midst of a cycle transition?
3) What are Portland’s emerging sub-markets?
4) Can Portland support additional growth? How is transit innovation impacting social and economic growth?
5) How is permitting impacting development in Portland?
