Explore Urban Multifamily Demand in the Age of COVID-19

Disaster Response
Published

The exponential increase of urbanization over the past decade has dramatically driven up the cost of living for renters in cities, all while wages have remained stagnant. Increased apartment density and innovative multifamily typologies such as co-living have begun to help combat the housing crisis that millions of Americans face.

In NAHB's webinar, Coliving, Density & Multifamily Demand After COVID-19 on Wednesday, Sept. 2, 2-3 p.m. ET, speaker Brad Hargreaves, CEO and founder of co-living pioneer Common, will discuss the approach to density changes in a post-pandemic world and how urban residents will need the affordability that density brings now more than ever before.

This webinar will help you:

  • Understand how cities have used density to drive affordable housing in the past to understand how they should develop for the future.
  • Understand the co-living management model, specifically Common's, so you can better apply it as a multifamily typology in your portfolios.
  • Learn the difference in developing a traditional multifamily project versus a higher density co-living project.
  • Learn how Common is expanding and adapting to the changes brought on by COVID-19 to understand the future of co-living in the multifamily industry.

Register today. Registration is open until 3 p.m. ET on Tuesday, Sept. 1. For questions about registration, please contact at [email protected].

Participants can earn one hour of continuing education credits for the following professional designations: CAPS, CGA, CGB, CGP, CGR, CMP, CSP, GMB, GMR, Master CGP, Master CSP and MIRM.
