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.

An Estates Gazette interview with Mr Vandenburg after the roundtable is available here.
