The East Bay multi-family housing market is hot! Average rents have spiked 71% over the past three years in some cities. While a few major multifamily projects are under construction or in the pipeline, demand for rentals is expected to continue to surge. Many observers are looking at the smaller in-fill projects to address demand, especially for affordable housing.
Join us on the morning of September 21st as we take a closer look at this market. We’ll take a broker/investor perspective as our panel of experts examines new construction, rehab, financing, rent control and other topics relating to this vibrant subject.
There will be opportunities to network with a score of commercial real estate professionals.
All commercial real estate professionals and government officials are welcome.
