Development once followed a predictable formula: acquire land, secure financing, build, lease up, raise rents, and exit. Today, that model is under pressure from higher capital costs, rising insurance and risk constraints, affordability challenges, and rapidly evolving user expectations. At the same time, adaptive reuse, mixed-use strategies, and technology are reshaping how projects are conceived and operated. This session explores what the new development playbook looks like in a fundamentally changed landscape, and how developers can not only stabilize, but thrive, in a rapidly evolving world.
