Urban Marketplace Boston seeking to revitalize key area markets

Forget this year’s bad news. Let’s talk about the future. The Urban Land Institute (ULI) in Boston is holding the first Boston Urban Marketplace conference as a way for meaningful conversations to take place between the private, public and non-profit sectors resulting in real estate deals, partnerships and information that will hopefully revitalize key urban markets in and around Boston.

The half-day event, on May 4th kicks off with a keynote by Congressman Barney Frank and then moves into interactive roundtables on four emerging markets that will have something for everyone and offer participants a way to engage with some of the most prominent developers, financiers and city officials in and around Boston.

To learn more about the event being chaired by Jerry Rappaport, Jr. and Kirk Sykes of New Boston Fund, register or submit a question to the speakers, visit the Urban Marketplace website.
