1:15 PM - 1:50 PMArrivals, On-site Registration & Networking
1:50 PM - 2:00 PMOpening Remarks
2:00 PM - 2:50 PMPhoenix Outlook in Focus: Submarkets, Supply & the Next Phase of Growth

Greater Phoenix remains one of the most closely watched rental housing markets in the country, but it is no longer moving as one. As areas like North Phoenix accelerate following TSMC’s arrival, others are facing slower absorption and elevated supply. Industry leaders examine how demand, deliveries and investment momentum are diverging across the metro, what the data is signaling versus what operators are seeing on the ground, and how developers and investors are underwriting multifamily, SFR and BTR opportunities as fundamentals evolve over the next 12–24 months.

2:50 PM - 3:40 PMCapital & Closings: How Phoenix Deals Are Getting Done

Capital is available again, but it’s selective, disciplined and highly asset-specific. At the same time, transaction volume remains uneven as buyers and sellers recalibrate expectations. Leaders in the industry will examine how multifamily, SFR and BTR deals are being capitalized and executed in today’s Phoenix market. From lending terms and equity return thresholds to bid-ask resets, recapitalizations and JV structures, panelists will discuss what’s trading, what’s stalled, and what sponsors must demonstrate to secure capital and close. This conversation connects capital discipline directly to transaction reality.

3:40 PM - 3:55 PMNetworking Break
3:55 PM - 4:10 PMThe Phoenix Factor: The State of Insurance & Risk in a Growth Market
4:10 PM - 5:00 PMWhat Still Pencils: Owning, Developing & Repositioning Assets in Greater Phoenix

As growth across Greater Phoenix becomes increasingly uneven, owners, managers, and developers are being forced to rethink how, and where, capital is deployed. Find out how owners and operators are evaluating reinvestment decisions in a market shaped by submarket divergence, and cost pressures and municipal constraints where ground-up development, redevelopment and operational repositioning remain viable. Hear how leaders are examining amenity investments through an ROI lens - separating features that support leasing, retention and rent durability from those that add cost without measurable return.
