9:30am Broker/Capital Panel
Will the continued volatility of the global capital markets and the corresponding anemic returns generated by the stock and bond markets continue to drive the institutional capital into commercial real estate? Limited new construction, signs of economic expansion and a low interest rate environment provide compelling justification for long-term rent growth. Hear from experts on how they are underwriting acquisitions in today’s market and what their investment strategies are for 2014.
Moderator: Grady Gammage
Panelists: Tyler Anderson, CBRE; Jack Hannum, Transwestern; John Cunningham- Jones, Lang & Lasalle; Steve Gebing- Marcus & Millichap
10:45am Hottest Markets in the Valley
Hear from East Valley Mayors about current apartment projects under way. The flurry of new-construction activity represents a complete turnaround from a year ago, when virtually no new apartments were being built. The vast majority of apartment building activity is happening inside Loop 101, and we will have the East Valley leadership to talk about it.
Panelists: Mark Mitchell, Mayor, Tempe; John Lewis, Mayor, Gilbert; Jay Tibshraeny, Mayor, Chandler; Jim Lane, Mayor, Scottsdale
Lunch Keynote Speaker: Elliott D. Pollack, Economist, Market Trends and Development Activity in Arizona
Elliot Pollack will give his insights into the apartment market as it continues to lead the real estate market recovery. He will present his assessment of how the larger housing industry and job forecasts will affect the rental housing industry. Operators and investors will appreciate Pollack’s in-depth analysis of the year-over-year breakdown and his forecast for where and when the new growth will occur in this industry.
