Winthrop & Weinstine President Tami Diehm will be a panelist at the Minnesota Capital Markets Summit on March 1, 2023.  She will be on the panel for the “New Opportunities in the Real Estate Industry: The Inflation Reduction Act and Valuation Capital Market Updates.”

The past several months have brought new opportunities to the real estate industry. We’ll take a look at one of these opportunities, the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and the new capabilities it unlocked for owners and investors. The IRA includes the largest energy incentive efforts in U.S. history and has created game changing opportunities for real estate companies through $270 billion in energy incentives. It builds on the energy incentives included in 2009’s American Reinvestment Recovery Act, creating an environment where many energy-related projects become significantly more attractive to more types of entities in the past. In addition, we’ll digest the capital market trends in valuations for added growth opportunity.

• Overview of the four main provisions of the IRA that impact real estate companies
• Discussion on the benefits real estate companies could achieve by looking into the four provisions
• Application of how real estate companies can enhance current development plans with these credits
• Understanding of the current valuation market in the capital market space
• Updates on the valuation market and what real estate companies need to know
