About the event

Latent demand, powerful demographic trends, affordability challenges, and the drive to more sustainable development have rendered the living sectors a key growth area for real estate investment and lending.

Collectively we can address today’s challenges and shape the ‘future of living’ through developing and funding impactful places to live, which can deliver compelling returns whilst benefitting their local areas and wider regions.

We’d be delighted if you could join us for an afternoon of exploring investment and lending opportunities in the living sectors.

You can expect interactive panels, expert speakers from both the private and public sectors, plus networking opportunities and of course, refreshments.
