Gunster Shareholder and Real Property co-chair Brian Seymour will be moderating a panel at the BISNOW Palm Beach State of the Market on December 4, 2025. The panel titled "The Future of Multifamily in Palm Beach: Where Demand is Growing and How Developers are Responding" will discuss major shifts and changes in multifamily demand.
According to BISNOW, attendees will learn:
- How capital partners from institutional investors to private equity and family offices are underwriting opportunity in Palm Beach’s mixed-use and residential markets
- Why the North End of West Palm Beach is emerging as a vibrant new mixed-use corridor, and the public-private collaborations fueling it
- How innovation districts, academic expansion, and next-gen industries are redefining the region’s economic and real estate landscape
- What it takes to build along the coast from resiliency planning and permitting hurdles to ultra-luxury design and branding strategies
- How retail, hospitality, and mobility investments are driving placemaking and unlocking value in underutilized areas
- Where the greatest demand is for new housing from high-density infill to master-planned rental and the financing tools making it feasible
