The government wants to build 300,000 homes a year to match demand – an ambitious goal we’re far short from meeting.
We’ll bring together panels of housing authorities, developers, homebuilders and more to highlight the key areas and issues of this broad sector.
Expect to hear about build-to-rent, senior living, large housing developments and affordable housing at this event. At Place RESI, you will find the information you need to know in a format you can digest – with the opportunity to put your questions to our experts.
