The Future of Sacramento Real Estate | 1,000 Jobs Coming To Sacramento

From The Central Valley Business Times:

A panel of experts will discuss emerging opportunities in the Sacramento region’s real estate market, highlighting key sectors leading regional economic recovery, at a meeting next week.

The Urban Land Institute Sacramento and PricewaterhouseCoopers are presenting the annual real estate trends and forecast event. They say it will feature insights from “leading national and local experts about the best bets for development and investment in the coming year.”

The event will feature a presentation of Emerging Trends in Real Estate 2012, the annual industry report developed by PwC and ULI. In addition, attendees will hear from advisors and investors influencing major capital expenditures in the Sacramento region.

Chuck DiRocco, director of real estate research at PricewaterhouseCoopers, will deliver the keynote presentation about national real estate trends, followed by regional issue speakers, including Ben Thornley, director of InSight/Pacific Community Ventures, who will explain how “Real Estate Impact Investing” can help drive economic development.

Also scheduled is a discussion of the Sacramento Clean Energy Program’s Green Technology Retrofit fund, which will bring $100 million worth of energy-saving retrofits to office buildings around the city. As part of a national effort launched by British billionaire Richard Branson's nonprofit Carbon War Room group, the Sacramento program is expected to create more than 1,000 jobs locally.

John Kaufman, regional director of the Greater Sacramento Area Ygrene Energy Fund, is overseeing the program and will explain how the program works through low-cost loans that are repaid through property tax assessments. Energy savings created by the retrofits are expected to more than cover the loan payments.
