Researchers estimate that 7-10% of the current US population identifies as Lesbian, Gay, Bi, Transgender and/or Queer (LGBTQ), and evidence suggests the number is growing as an increasing number of young people identify as queer. Explore the latest data related to this growing yet underserved and often overlooked market segment, and the potential design and marketing opportunities for student, Gen Z, and senior-oriented housing. The session is presented by the ULI Americas Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee.
Mitigating climate change is the ultimate design challenge. Our buildings and cities account for 45% of all GHG emissions, including their operational energy and upfront carbon (or embodied carbon). We have little time to reinvent our low carbon future, and to succeed we have to make our buildings and cities better than ever before. In this session we propose we are at a moment of transformation, from construction as-we-know-it, to a paradigm of low-carbon manufactured assembly: more efficient, inspired, less wasteful and setting the stage for recyclable cities. Examples include recently completed buildings ranging from public buildings, offices, classrooms and […]
Cross-regional capital flows totaled US$30.5 billion in the first half of 2023, down 52 percent from the first half of 2022. This can be attributed to less capital flows from North America into the European markets amid high interest rates, constrained debt markets and economic uncertainty. While cross-regional capital flows are down, there is dry powder on the sidelines and investors are eager to deploy into the U.S. living sectors. The ultrawealthy are increasingly turning to the living sectors as an investment. Berkadia’s Dori Nolan and Knight Frank’s Ed Owen will offer insight into global capital flows – specifically cross-border […]

In what has become the largest redevelopment project in state history, Utah released the 600 acre former state prison site in Draper, UT (Salt Lake City region) for development proposals in early 2022 after nearly 2 years of intense planning, study, and public engagement. Cities redevelop properties all the time, but it is rare when the redevelopment authority is a state agency. As a result, a new toolkit was created to plan, solicit development interest, finance the infrastructure, and manage the development agreement requiring state bonds, changes in state legislation, and ultimately, the Governor’s signature. This session will focus on […]

There are many communities across the country that have experienced historic disinvestment and there are people and businesses in these communities that are still having problems accessing capital today. For instance, areas of South Los Angeles are food deserts, and the community has tried to attract new grocery stores for decades, but the private market has not yet made these investments in the community. Through this panel discussion, we will explore how to demonstrate the value of these markets to unlock capital when a traditional market study may not capture the true purchasing power of the community. Should we redesign […]
There is a common concern that incorporating sustainability in new developments and existing renovations is cost-prohibitive. However, numerous green finance initiatives exist to address this challenge.

Historic districts in older cities, with their exposed brick and ancient timber, make for enticing adaptive reuse projects, but how do we approach the more recently built urban areas around the country that don’t have those great bones? We’re talking about buildings and neighborhoods that are visibly outdated and no longer well positioned to compete for workplace, hospitality, and residential uses. While these places are too new to be replaced due to higher carbon footprints and renovation costs, they can be reimagined and reinvented using far fewer resources than ground-up development. RIOS Studio Directors Sabina Cheng and Nate Cormier delve […]

The unfolding story of declining office use, rapid civic change, and shifting work patterns has created an obvious (and yet to be fully defined) need for adaptive reuse in city centers, suburban office developments, and smaller markets alike around the country. In addition, the remote and hybrid work trend that accelerated during the pandemic resulted in net migration away from gateway cities to secondary cities and emerging markets. Since its creation in 2012, ULI North America’s Redevelopment and Reuse Product Council (RRC) has engaged and collaborated around adaptive reuse opportunities, trends, best practices, challenges, and solutions. Five RRC members will […]

The State of California has set an ambitious goal to build 2.5 million housing units by the end of 2031 as part of the State’s 6th Cycle of Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA), allocating roughly 420,000 units, for Moderate Income (80-120% AMI) residents. The challenge for cities and local planners is how to encourage the development of this notoriously difficult “missing middle” housing. While government subsidies exist for Low Income housing development, there are no subsidies or assistance programs to develop Moderate Income housing. Statewide, the average cost of projects to house low-and moderate-income families is well above $500,000 per unit. […]
Mexico’s real estate sector has been a driver in its economic development throughout the years.

Los Angeles has a special history with the Olympic Games, having hosted the event in 1932 and 1984—and now planning for the 2028 Olympics and Paralympics. The Games helped define Los Angeles as a city in two starkly different eras—and 2028 presents a third distinct moment to enhance and elevate what Los Angeles is as a city and region. The Olympics create both big challenges and big opportunities. The discussion at this session will explore how the planning, execution, and legacy of the 2028 Games will once again shape the region through the lens of leadership, economic development, social equity, […]
Innovative Dwellings creates affordable infill housing by identifying opportunities for development in physical and financial spaces often overlooked.

We will review our challenges and lessoned learned while creating affordable infill housing in the form of accessory dwelling units, container housing, panelized and modular construction, adaptive reuse, and more. And we will also discuss the addition of on-site service provision for tenants from special-needs populations (i.e., veterans, […]
Los Angeles is synonymous with Hollywood. With production studios running at almost 100 percent capacity, the need for new soundstages is in full effect. Developers have responded by breathing new life into old Hollywood studios as well as building new campuses, both of which are creating vital creative hubs for the community and not the […]
The success of a commercial real estate project depends on multiple factors, including location, amenities, and construction design. But securing an anchor tenant for a commercial property can be the single most important factor in making a project a success since anchor tenants bring credibility to a retail center or an office building—increasing the attraction of the property and the character of a neighborhood. But getting a commercial tenant to commit to a long-term lease can be challenging for brokers. Negotiating the best lease agreement can be difficult without having to sacrifice rent breaks or major tenant allowances. Building owners […]
Historically, major highways in American downtowns have divided communities and resulted in racial and socioeconomic injustices. Now, they present opportunities to right past wrongs and achieve greater prosperity and equity. Many cities across the country are experimenting with the “cap and stitch” concept, which aims to shrink the footprint of the highway; cap the lowered highway; and stitch the bridges. Cap-and-stitch projects are major market makers for the real estate industry. First, improvements to infrastructure access and the public realm increase market demand. Second, through newly built caps, additional developable lands are provided. However, without careful planning, these new opportunities […]

The business case for a net zero carbon real estate industry is clearer than ever. Rising stakeholder pressure to decarbonize and the scale of business opportunity have ensured that companies that lead that effort will see the highest value creation. However, will the buildings and energy systems decarbonizing the industry reinforce inequity, or disrupt it? […]

One of the greatest challenges of our time: every new building emits greenhouse gases, and the city of Toronto needs to build housing for 3 million new residents by the same year it becomes net zero.
