core/heading

Philadelphia is coming out of one of the biggest multifamily building waves in its history just as financing, policy and demand patterns are all shifting at the same time. A large volume of new product has recently delivered across the city and suburbs, while the next round of starts is thinning out. That creates a gap between what is already in the ground and what will be available two to three years from now.&nbsp;

For owners, developers, and capital partners, that pivot matters more than any single stat. It is going to determine which submarkets still have room to grow, which business plans are vulnerable, and where you can still create value through new construction, conversions, or smart repositioning. At the same time, City Hall is rewriting the playbook on abatements and incentives for conversions, younger sponsors are stepping into deals that used to be reserved for legacy names, and renters are raising the bar on design, operations and amenities.

This event pulls those threads together in a way that is specific to Philadelphia. Attendees will hear from the people actually buying sites, converting offices and schools, valuing engineering deals to the finish line, and sitting across the table from lenders today.

Josh’s session, “Adaptive Reuse Renaissance—Converting Offices, Schools &amp; More into Apartments,” will take place from 10:15 to 11:00 a.m.&nbsp;

The panel will discuss unlocking new housing by reinventing Philadelphia’s existing buildings.
