10:00 AM - 11:00 AM PST

Join the Urban Development Institute for our next DEVTalk, where we'll explore innovative financing strategies to help developers stay agile and well-capitalized in a changing market.

Led by Mack Carson, Senior Director of Mortgage Origination at Canada ICI Capital, this session will highlight key funding tools and opportunities shaping the year ahead, including:

  • Updates and insights on CMHC's Select and ACLP construction programs
  • An inside look at the BC Builds initiative from the Province
  • When higher-leverage conventional rental financing makes sense—and what lenders expect
  • Spec condo and townhouse construction financing opportunities
  • Using inventory loans to unlock liquidity after completion
  • Current trends and expectations in land financing

With over $1.5 billion in capital placed for clients across Western BC, Mack brings valuable, real-world insight into what's working—and what's next—in development financing. Whether you're navigating complex funding or looking to strengthen your strategy for 2026, this DEVTalk will offer practical, actionable takeaways to help you break ground without breaking the bank.
