For years, Prince George’s County has been the most underestimated market in the DMV. That’s changing. Quantum computing companies are planting flags at College Park. Long-delayed master-planned communities are finally in the ground. Metro-accessible land that once sat dormant is attracting residential capital at a pace the county hasn’t seen before and major redevelopment opportunities have the potential to reshape the County. Join us as we explore what’s driving the county’s momentum, where the deals are getting done, and how to incentivize sustainable development, and where public investment and private capital are moving in the County.

Greater Baltimore Multifamily and Affordable Housing Summit

Baltimore is in the middle of one of the most consequential housing transformations of any American city. With billions in public investment, a growing development pipeline, and growing private capital interest converging at the same moment. The city’s decision to tackle tens of thousands of vacant properties through a once in a lifetime redevelopment program signals a long-term commitment to growth and development that the private sector will build. At the same time, a cleaner supply picture, durable employment fundamentals, and a wave of new affordable and market-rate projects breaking ground are creating the conditions for an increase in residential demand and sustained investment recovery. Baltimore isn’t just a turnaround story, it’s one of the most compelling housing markets on the East Coast right now.
