About The Conference
iGlobal Forum is pleased to present the upcoming Real Estate Joint Ventures Dealmakers Meeting, taking place on Wednesday, June 14, 2017 in New York City. The model of real estate private equity firms doing joint ventures with developers and project sponsors is a time-honored tradition. Private equity firms rely on sponsors, with their deep knowledge of markets and sectors, to help populate their funds with deals. Likewise, sponsors count on private equity firms and other financial partners to fund their projects and help bring them to life. The popularity of real estate joint ventures is on the upswing due to a surplus of capital and a shortage of good deals. But today’s JVs are different—they’ve been shaped by painful lessons learned during the financial crisis, when many projects were either put on hold or abandoned. iGlobal Forum’s Real Estate Joint Ventures Dealmakers Meeting will give you greater insight into critical success factors for joint ventures in the current economic and real estate climate. These workshops provide an intimate format that is conducive to learning, sharing experiences, and finding potential business partners. You will meet and network directly with senior-level representatives from real estate private equity firms, developers and project sponsors, real estate owners & operators, senior & mezzanine lenders, institutional investors and family offices, asset managers and allocators, attorneys and accountants.
