The real estate industry is abuzz with the talk of tariffs. The U.S. imports 30 percent of its lumber from Canada and $4.5 billion in construction materials from Mexico every year, and new levies could create ripples throughout the sector. So: how can real estate prepare for the fallout and mitigate rising costs?
The Real Deal‘s Future City executive retreat is a timely opportunity to address these critical concerns. From March 9th to 11th, over 140 leaders in real estate development, construction, technology, and policy will gather at Kiawah Island to explore solutions and strategies for navigating this challenging landscape.
Among the attendees is Sam Charney, founder and CEO of Charney Companies, currently developing over 2 million mixed-use square feet and 3,000 units in New York City. Charney has proactively amended contracts to protect his firm from potential cost premiums and will be at Future City to share his insights and learn from other industry experts.
Patrick E. Murphy, former U.S. congressman and now CIO for Coastal Construction, Florida’s largest construction firm, will offer invaluable perspectives in his session, “The Trump Effect: Inflation, Tariffs, and the New Blueprint for Development.” This session promises to provide attendees with a roadmap for navigating the impact of tariffs and inflation on both current and future projects.
Future City boasts a dynamic lineup of speakers, including developer Danny Haber, a pioneer in mass timber construction, and Graeme Waitkins, COO of ICON, a company revolutionizing large-scale robotic development. These experts will share innovative approaches to cost reduction without compromising quality.
The off-the-record sessions and discussions at The Sanctuary at Kiawah Island resort provide a unique forum for open dialogue and collaboration. Attendance at Future City is the only way to gain access to this exclusive information and connect with industry peers facing similar challenges.
