Highlights from Connect Apartments 2026 (VIDEO)

Attendees at Connect Apartments 2026, held in late September at The Biltmore in Los Angeles, had an up-close vantage point to hear from industry leaders on the opportunities and challenges seen by participants in the multifamily market across the western U.S. For those who were unable to attend, we have summarized the in-person conference in the video below.

Starting with a one-on-one discussion between Daniel Ceniceros, president and CEO of Connect Media, and Ethan Penner, chairman of Hill Street Realty, the video presents insights from Chris Tourtellotte, Managing Director, Laterra Development in the “Capital Markets & Investment Strategy: Where the Money Is Moving” panel; Mitchell Hunter, Chief Revenue Officer, Trimont in the “Distressed Property Outlook” panel; Sonnet Hui, Senior Vice President, Project Management, Cumming Group in the “Developing and Operating for Today’s Renter” panel; and Amit Tyagi, principal, Gantry in the “Multifamily Finance & Lending Outlook: Navigating the New Capital Stack” discussion.
