LUXURY APARTMENTS AND HIGH END RESIDENTIAL
Join us for a CPD webinar that explores the market factors and buyer preferences that architects, and developers need to consider in designing and marketing high-end residences and apartments.
Understanding the direction of the market and the type of products that are gaining traction is valuable intel in terms of how designers/developers position and promote themselves and the mix of options they offer to their clients.
This webinar brings together some of the brightest and most experienced residential designers/developers in the industry.
Our expert panel comprises architect Brian Meyerson, principal of MHNDU: Damon Krongold, Director-Projects, Kay & Burton, Jeff Provan, Design Director of Neo metro Architects (Melbourne) and Scott Tanner, Managing Director, Greenback Capital. The session will be moderated by architecture and design writer, Stephen Crafti.
Some of the areas and questions that the panel will consider include:
- Will the trend to high-end apartments continue to gain momentum - what are the foreseen challenges?
- What are buyers looking for in their search for a new home? What price are they prepared to pay against what they get? What are the non-negotiables and what are they prepared to sacrifice?
- Will the sparsity of land mean even more dramatic price shifts in the future?
- What are the hurdles to be overcome?
- Is there a move to quality irrespective of the segment of the market?
- How to deal with challenges relating to financing the increasing development costs in a post-pandemic world?
