On January 19 ULI Atlanta held a virtual program on Trends in Real Estate – which is an annual report that is jointly released by the Urban Land Institute and PwC. The report culminates insights from over 1,600 real estate and land use practitioners across the country who are interviewed on real estate investment and development trends. For decades, this report has helped practitioners unpack projections and prognostications for a host of real estate issues across the United States.
While the major theme for 2021 is ‘acceleration’ of trends like working from home, social and racial equity, and movement from urban to suburban, Atlanta’s local panel had their own take on how these trends play out here and what means for our region. Below are the top 5 most salient takeaways from the Atlanta event:

5. Finally, COVID has changed the way we work – and some might argue for the better. How often have we heard the adage, “that meeting could have been a call?” The post-pandemic work from home experiment has accelerated at a lightning speed, but often what that means is limited capacity to collaborate. One panel member articulated “As individuals, we may be more productive at home, but as organizations, we’re more productive together.” Time will tell what this will mean for office spaces of the future.
A huge thanks to our keynote presenter Andrew Warren at PwC and local panel members Olaf Kunkat at Newport Holding; Darice Rose at CBRE; Sheba Ross at HKS; and T. Dallas Smith at his namesake company for sharing their time, thoughts, and energy with ULI Atlanta membership. ULI members will have access to the videos and presentation via KnowledgeFinder in the coming weeks.
