The Housing Forum provides the opportunity to engage in insightful discussions and interactive workshops on creative financing models, community engagement strategies, policy advocacy, and leveraging public-private partnerships.
Los Angeles has a long history of office to residential conversions going back several decades. However, the oversupply of office coupled with growing undersupply of affordable housing, has made the question of how to expedite the conversion of legacy and obsolete offices into new residential use all the more pressing for both city leaders and developers. Beyond Los Angeles, these trends are present in cities across the country, with many real estate professionals grappling with how to embark on how to salvage value and explore new opportunities. This forum will present lessons learned through LA’s long history with adaptive reuse conversions that can be adopted to other jurisdictions and aims to address opportunities and issues that have recently arisen through new policies, funding sources, and incentives that encourage the conversion of vacant office buildings for residential use. Lunch will be provided.
The forum is open to all ULI full members attending the Fall Meeting in Los Angeles. Sign up for the Forum directly when registering for the Fall Meeting. If you are a ULI associate member and are interested in attending, please
