Reliable Team Specialized Turn Strategy We build a custom plan for all levels of your organization, making business easy & cost effective. Powerhouse Customer Service Custom Fabrication Shop Inventory Forecasting Plan Tailored Delivery Program The Trump administration is generating headlines and news on many fronts but the post-election fallout with the most significance to our industry involves interest rates and Treasury rates. No one knows for sure what the new president's economic policies will entail but both key interest rates and Treasury rates jumped significantly in November and December, which could take the wind out of the sails of the invest- ment market and impact the development market as well. Will rates continue to creep (or jump) up? Level off? Will rate increas- es — or uncertainty — cause deals to be "re-priced" or even sidelined, or will investors and developers just shrug and keep transacting? Something to watch in the first quarter and beyond. It's been an extremely busy start to the year for Student Housing Business. In addition to producing the issue you hold in your hands, we are already working on the March/ April issue (traditionally our largest of the year) and on the 9th annual InterFace Student Housing conference, taking place April 5-7 in Austin. Registration numbers and interest in InterFace are running ahead of last year. Our exhibit floor is sold out, we have a record number of top companies looking to be aligned and involved with the conference, and we are assembling what we think will be our best agenda and speaker line-up yet! See our special InterFace Student Housing insert (between pages 24 and 25) for more information. The conference offers roundtables and speed networking, 20 panels, 100+ speakers, a golf outing, the Innovator Awards presentation, two networking receptions and a wealth of information and networking. And that is only during the day — a lot of great networking (and fun) is to be had at night in Austin as well! For anyone on the fence about attending, jump off and register and make your plans to join the rest of the industry in Austin April 5-7!
