“We are seeing pronounced improvements in occupancy and rent pricing for multifamily in the New York metro area. It is apparent that employment growth has taken hold in New York City and with occupancies at 99% in Manhattan, the benefits are flowing out to the Westchester and southwest Connecticut markets. Investors have taken notice and are looking for quality properties in these regions.” – Arthur Collins, President, Collins Enterprises

Find Opportunity in Today’s Climate: Multifamily (affordable, luxury), next-generation mixed-use, retail and transit-oriented investment and development in the Hudson Valley and Connecticut will be discussed at the summit.

“The northern metropolitan region in New York’s Hudson Valley and Connecticut has been underserved by a commercial real estate event in recent years, even as this area witnessed population growth and the demand for quality multifamily units increased. We’ve identified the key themes and opportunities in commercial real estate today, which will be explored at this high-level and content-driven program. This informational and networking event will provide the market intelligence and networking necessary to conduct business in the Hudson Valley and Connecticut commercial markets. This is a new and truly unique event for the region.”
