The Capital Markets Council is a small, intimate group (20-25 participants) of industry leaders who meet for two half-day sessions a year. The Council meetings consist of ULI members and guest speakers sharing best practices and lessons learned in case studies, round table discussions, and off-site private tours. All council members must be transaction-based real estate professionals involved in the local market. The focus will be on the most important transactions around the region: drivers, challenges, and ultimately solutions.  This Council will include a balance of cross-discipline professionals.  All information must be kept confidential.

The Capital Markets Council provides a lens on short-term and long-range issues that surround financial markets and how these issues are transforming the business of real estate finance, regionally, nationally and internationally. Members are leaders in brokerage, development, banking institutions and specialty finance companies, including public finance agencies. The Council hosts conversations on market trends, monetary policy, and real-time issues and opportunities in the real estate markets in order to foster a healthy and productive real estate capital markets sector.
