Partner Lindsay Tabaian will moderate this panel, which covers California’s housing crisis. Developers and agencies face a challenging environment defined by rising construction costs, slowed demand for certain asset classes, and increased regulatory pressure. The panel will discuss how the industry is utilizing new state housing & CEQA laws to maximize development potential, streamline the entitlements process, and overcome constraints – particularly through adaptive reuse, office-to-residential conversion, and new approaches to hybrid construction systems – and how State and local agencies, such as HCD and Los Angeles, have responded to these initiatives.
