ROBERT BROWN PRESENTATION
WARD McALLISTER PRESENTATION
Faced with chronically high land and construction costs, municipal red tape and delays, and ever increasing taxes and fees, many home builders have been driven away from building purpose-built rental buildings. So what are the answers to increasing rental housing in the region to ensure there are more home choices for all budgets? And how can home builders be part of the solution?
Come hear firsthand from an expert panel of rental-focused builders and industry experts, about potential solutions, policy levers, and incentives that exist to encourage more rental development.
