Breaking the Gridlock: Restarting Housing in San Francisco
After years of headwinds, rising costs, regulatory bottlenecks, financing shocks, and post-pandemic uncertainty, there are real signs that momentum is returning to housing development in San Francisco. This dynamic panel brings together senior leaders from across the development ecosystem to explore what’s finally shifting, what risks remain, and where the next wave of opportunity may emerge.
Principals from The Prado Group, DM Development, Martin Building Company, Mercy Housing, and Emerald Fund will share candid, on-the-ground perspectives — from capital markets and construction realities to policy changes and affordable housing innovation. Expect a lively discussion on how developers are adapting their strategies, where projects are penciling again, and what it will take to sustain a true housing recovery.
Whether you’re an investor, policymaker, designer, or housing advocate, this conversation offers a rare opportunity to hear directly from the people rebuilding confidence and pipelines across the city.
