Resources

Meeting Summary:

The mission of the Multifamily Council (MFC) is to allow developers, value-add sponsors, equity investors, lenders, and other multifamily service providers, working in different regions and with different transaction profiles, to connect in a collaborative setting. Leadership teams for each council put together a program for each council day which allows its members to discuss and confront issues of mutual concern and build powerful, long term relationships in a non-commercial setting.

Topics addressed by the MFC in recent programs include:

the engagement of domestic and foreign capital in the multifamily sector
escalating construction costs and factors
urban vs. suburban development opportunities
lessons learned from mixed-use execution
Responses of product design to evolving demographic trends.

Although the MFC’s occasionally discuss condominium developments and student housing deals, most of the discussion revolves around the development of and investment in market rate apartment projects in projects larger than 100 units in size.

Interest Areas:

Designing for new demographic trends
Finding the value in “value add”
Examining the impact of development pipelines on operating fundamentals in various markets
Challenges of incorporating ground floor retail into large multifamily projects in a variety of urban and suburban settings
Suburban vs. urban: Costs vs. benefits
Alternative capitalization structures
The housing affordability challenge
