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.

At the same time, shifting capital markets are forcing developers and lenders to find creative paths to make deals pencil across every asset class. Join Bisnow as we convene Fairfax’s top developers, investors, lenders, and public leaders to explore where the market stands today, which opportunities are most compelling, and how the county’s next chapter is being written.
