Housing transactions require a vested interest from all partners at the table, but there are limits to what each participant can provide. Sometimes getting to “no” is more important than getting to “yes”. With traditional capital markets tightening, securing financing for housing developments has become increasingly complex. Rising interest rates, cautious lenders, and shifting priorities have made it harder to execute new projects. Yet, innovative tools—such as P3s, impact investing, opportunity zones, and alternative debt structures—are helping overcome these challenges. This panel will explore the non-starters from the Owner, Developer and Investor perspectives such to navigate to creative solutions across all stakeholders.
