Next week, CAPRE is hosting their Seventh Annual New Jersey Apartment Summit. This annual gathering is the most thorough industry event for active multifamily developers, investors, debt sources, equity sources, construction executives, brokers and property management firms. 400 senior-level executives will attend for important discussion, debate and networking on the myriad of opportunities and challenges in today’s market. If you are active in New Jersey’s multifamily sector, you will not want to miss this important industry event.
With overall investment sales slowing over the last two years, challenging market forces are creating a unique set of opportunities. In 2017, there is an active “middle-market” of investors who seek value-add deals in growing submarkets in-and-around the Tri-State. In addition, institutional investors are considering their next moves in today’s market. Interest rates are at historic lows allowing investors access to affordable capital. Equity and JV equity remains active, and alternative capital sources, such as crowdfunding are becoming more powerful forces in the multifamily financing arena.
Meanwhile, property management firms are looking for ways to retain an attractive tenant base through new-and-improved amenities and day-to-day management enhancements. The region’s condo market is expected to see additional buying-and-selling activity, buffered by low-interest rates and the region’s low-unemployment and worker wage gains. Finally, what impact will New Jersey’s gubernatorial election cycle have on the multifamily industry?
