Future of Real Estate: Navigating a tariff-driven landscape

The Westman Centre for Real Estate Studies invites you to the next event in our Future of Real Estate breakfast series.

Tariffs and trade tensions are once again top of mind, driving up costs, slowing timelines and shifting risk across the industry. This session focuses on how developers, builders and investors are adapting to these pressures and planning ahead.

Moderated by Alexander Whalley, professor of economics and real estate research fellow at the University of Calgary, you'll hear from professionals who are responding in real time to rising material prices, contract uncertainty and changing supply chain realities. We'll look at how trade policy is influencing real estate decisions, from financing and design to construction and delivery.
