UDI Vancouver Lunch - Forecast 2015

Thank you to all 1125 people, including 5 mayors, who attended the January 22nd UDI Forecast Lunch. 

This year Brian McCauley of Concert Properties moderated the discussion with industry leaders Neil Chrystal of Polygon Homes, Kevin Layden of Wesbild Holdings and David Negrin of Aquilini Development. The informative presentations and Q&A gave the audience insight into the changing retail market, housing sales and immigration trends, the office construction boom, and the importance of working with First Nations groups.
