Tony Pourhassan headshotOn October 14 and 15 at the Four Seasons Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada, a collection of some of the nation’s finest builders, developers and finance partners will gather together for a two-day forum to network and discuss the state of their industry. The main focus of Information Management Network’s (IMN)  3rd Annual Real Estate Private Equity Forum will be on private equity, debt and joint venture financing in the land and homebuilding markets. The event will convene senior colleagues from homebuilders, funds/private equity firms, land developers, land owners, lenders, property management and other service providers to the industry. Highlight Homes’ Principal, Tony Pourhassan will not only be in attendance at the event – he will serve as a panelist.

Featured alongside four other panelists, the topic of discussion for his particular segment of the forum will relate to “The High-End of the Market” – a subject for which Tony is ideally suited as the founder of one of Atlanta, Georgia’s premier custom homebuilding companies, Highlight Homes. Tony and his fellow panelists will address the subjects of:

  • Land prices in affluent neighborhoods
  • Lot size, amenities and floorplans that are in vogue
  • Revenue that can be expected from projects such as these
  • Whether or not the new luxury home supply is under-served
  • The outside with regard to pools, guarded-gates, clubhouses and open space
  • Access to public transportation, highways and employment centers
  • The active senior community
  • What attracts them to high-end market opportunities

“I am honored to serve alongside my fellow panelists to discuss our ‘high-end’ sector of the market,” said Tony. “And I am particularly eager to learn what others are experiencing in different parts of the country. In Georgia, the recovery of the housing industry was extremely slow to start – but today it’s beginning to show great promise. Hopes are high for that trend to continue so we can all continue to do the work we love – building beautifully crafted houses for the families who will one day call them ‘home.’”

For those in attendance at the Forum, Tony would like to personally invite you to grab a seat before the “High-End of the Market” panel at 9:30 a.m. on Thursday, October 15.
