The questions on everyone’s minds as we look to what’s in store for 2008 are:

• How difficult will the real estate market get and when will things start to get better?
• What are the bright spots and where can we expect the market to further deteriorate?
• Will foreclosures rise and will tightening of lending standards by banks limit the prospect of a housing rebound anytime this year?
• How will housing slowdowns, price declines, demographics and a possible recession impact commercial /industrial development and leasing/sales?
• Can we look forward to any significant relief on property taxes and insurance?
How will all of this affect the market for commercial and industrial real estate?
• Lastly, should we expect a recession or just a lumpy soft landing?

The 2008 don’t miss program has assembled the best ever array of stellar industry leaders, analysts, economists and professionals to paint a picture of what is in store for 2008, both globally and locally.

Program Chair Lew “don’t shoot the messenger” Goodkin – who has been forecasting these very conditions for more than two years -- and his committee have confirmed an exceptional palette of experts from across the country and close to home. Register early to assure your place at the table.

All registrants will receive a copy of ULI / PriceWaterhouseCoopers’  Emerging Trends in Real Estate 2008 publication.
