Workforce housing is in demand, but rising construction costs, tighter financing and entitlement hurdles can stop promising projects in their tracks. In this candid panel, two active multifamily developers and a workforce-housing architect explore why deals stall and what moves them forward. Dig into financing structures and capital-stack assumptions that can make or break a deal, structural, layout and material choices that reduce costs without sacrificing livability, and land and entitlement risks that need early attention. Explore how better developer-architect alignment can prevent costly missteps. Whether you're developing, designing or planning, leave with a clearer roadmap for turning challenging workforce housing opportunities into buildable projects.
