SPUR Financing the Missing Middle: Making Small-Scale Housing Feasible

Description

Financing the Missing Middle: Making Small-Scale Housing Feasible

Join speakers from SPUR, Build Casa, The Sobrato Organization, Housing Trust Silicon Valley and AlphaX RE Capital hosted by the San Jose Silicon Valley Chamber.

"Missing middle” housing, including duplexes, fourplexes, and townhomes, is increasingly permitted in cities across the Bay Area but is rarely built. Panelists will explore various policy, construction, regulation, and financing barriers, offering tools to incentivize smaller-scale multi-family homes over single-family housing. The discussion will cover how building and residential code distinctions and entitlement costs affect feasibility, as well as emerging financing models and how modular construction may help scale development.
