How is the Pandemic Influencing Development in our Communities?

Tuesday, April 6, 11:30 a.m.

We’ve all heard the buzz about COVID-19’s impact on the real estate market nationwide. Join a discussion with Charlotte area developers as they reflect on the real estate outlook for our region and the prospect for continued growth. We’ll be exploring pandemic-influenced trends in the office, retail and housing markets, especially those outside of Center City. Gain perspective on how developers are seeing the trends and how to position your community to attract desirable development.
