The Forum offers a valuable year-end opportunity to take stock of an unprecedented banner year and to chart a course for the coming year.

The Breakfast opens with a one-on-one interview of Ian Bruce Eichner, President & CEO, The Continuum Companies, by Jay Neveloff, Partner, Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel LLP. Both Bruce and Jay are New York City born-and-bred and have vast experience in both boom and bust real estate cycles.

This special interview of a visionary local developer by a leading industry attorney provides a rare glimpse into the fast-paced world of deal making in real-time.   This is an incredible opportunity to hear about landmark transactions (both past and present) from true industry insiders!

The interview will be followed by a thought-provoking panel discussion on the most urgent "unanswered" question currently gripping the New York Real Estate market:

Planning for the Coming Real Estate Bubble…or is it Already Here?

Opinions in today's market range from shorting 57th Street to buying on the dip.  The truth is probably somewhere in the middle…but where exactly?  What can you really do with this information?

We are currently in a sweet spot, the likes of which has rarely been seen before: Is there room to go up?  What could bring us down and sink the industry?  Will foreign buyers keep up their pace? Is the reinvention of NYC the principal driver of continued price inflation?

Most importantly: Is the current cycle a repeat of what happened in 2008, a typical cycle, or an entirely different animal altogether?

In addition to analyzing the latest investment trends, interest rates, cap rates, leverage levels, supply and demand, prices vs. valuations, prospects for tax reform and affordable housing; our panelists will illuminate the warning signs to heed as market conditions shift and lay out strategies for these shifts.

Our panel is comprised of senior professionals who will provide real insights into preparing for the changes ahead in the various market sectors. Audience participation will be strongly encouraged to round out the discussion.

Join us next week and start 2015 well prepared as you absorb the timeless lessons of the past…and the present.

Our panel discussion, Planning for the Coming Real Estate Bubble…or is it Already Here? features:

  • Marc Wieder, Partner, Anchin, Block & Anchin LLP as Moderator with Panelists;
  • Hugh Kelly, PhD, CRE, Clinical Professor of Real Estate, NYU Schack Institute of Real Estate;
