What's Winning in Today's Turbulent Market

Thursday, June 25

Program

Join NAIOP Northern Virginia for an engaging panel exploring how innovative developers and industry leaders are navigating today’s challenging commercial real estate landscape. Amid rising interest rates, persistent construction cost pressures, softening rents, and a deeply challenged office sector, forward-thinking teams are finding new paths to success. Our panel features developers that are finding pathways to success. We'll discuss the challenges and opportunities of pivoting into low-rise residential developments, transforming distressed or underperforming assets into vibrant new uses, including senior living communities and urban-edge data centers, and highly sought after grocery-anchored retail destinations. Hear firsthand how creative strategies, adaptive reuse, and bold repositioning are unlocking value and reshaping the future of CRE in our region
