Already being described as a ‘vintage’ MIPIM, MIPIM 2015 was a hectic but productive week for the ULI team! Lisette van Doorn, ULI Europe CEO, and Greg Clark, ULI Europe Senior Fellow spoke at the MIPIM City Investment Forum, and Tuesday’s launch of the ULI/PwC Global Emerging Trends report was standing room only, despite the temptation of the Cannes sunshine.

Similarly, our ULI UK Residential Roundtable sponsored by Assael Architecture on Wednesday morning was fully booked. Those lucky enough to be in the room heard from Wayne Vandenburg, a senior ULI member from Chicago, Chairman & Co-Chief Executive Officer of TVO Groupe and Chairman & CEO of TVO Capital Management, a major multifamily operating partner, investor and manager of large multifamily communities in the US. Participants including Deputy Mayor of London, Ric Blakeway had a stimulating debate on PRS for the UK, broadly agreeing that we have now passed the tipping point for a purpose built institutional build to rent sector in UK. An Estates Gazette interview with Mr Vandenburg after the roundtable is available  here.
