Description

Join the Commercial Real Estate Development Association for a timely conversation exploring the forces shaping hotel development, investment, and operations across the region. From ground-up developments and adaptive reuse projects to brand partnerships, financing strategies, and evolving amenity expectations, we'll examine how hospitality is being reimagined within today’s commercial real estate landscape.

Boston’s tourism and visitation economy continues to evolve—driven by major events, institutional demand, international travel, and the city’s growing innovation ecosystem. With insights from Meet Boston, we’ll explore what’s fueling demand today, how visitation patterns are shifting, and what it means for hotel performance, development strategy, and long-term investment.

The hospitality sector is evolving rapidly - driven by shifting travel patterns, rising construction costs, changing guest expectations, and new opportunities for mixed-use integration. Developers, hotel operators, capital partners, and advisors will share insights on market performance, deal structuring, design trends, and the role hospitality plays in activating mixed-use environments and urban districts.

Hear from:

• Sebastian Colella, Managing Principal, Pinnacle Advisory
• Nicholas Fils-Aime, Senior Director – Acquisitions & Development, Tishman Speyer
• Dave O'Donnell, Vice President of Communications, Meet Boston

Additional speakers to be announced!

The panel discussion will take place at the One Milestone lab building. Following the panel discussion, we will walk to The Atlas Hotel for a networking reception at the Foxglove Terrace, on the rooftop of The Atlas Hotel.
