Carroll’s panel, The New Investment Landscape: Pent-Up Demand, The “Scarcity Premium” and the Rise of Institutional Capital, included executives from Berkshire, The Donaldson Group, Bell Partners, Inc., LaSalle Investment Management, Silverwood Companies and Fairfield Residential. All told, more than 400 multifamily and commercial real estate executives attended the Summit. “We heard a broad range of perspectives, from those who are still concerned about economic recovery, to those who have already turned that into an opportunity for unprecedented growth,” Carroll says. “The multifamily space is hot right now, so it is an exciting time to hear from active investors and developers. Plus, D.C. is one of our focus markets, so it felt like home turf to be in the area.” He also recently spoke to the 2011 Affordable Housing Tax Incentive Real Estate Conference, serving as an expert on the Financing Portfolios/Acquisition Sales panel. “The landscape is changing quickly in the multifamily housing industry, including affordable housing,” Carroll says, “so this was a great opportunity to share critical industry insights that provide value for developers, owners, government officials and others.” Both conferences are organized by the Reznick Group a top 20 national public accounting firm providing accounting, tax and business advisory services nationally.
