The Terwilliger Center team works with ULI’s other content areas to coordinate this annual event.

Legacy Forum for Multifamily Housing

The Legacy Forum, formerly the ULI/Carolyn and Preston Butcher Forum, is an annual invitation-only forum that brings together 25-30 executives from across the multifamily housing industry to explore various aspects of the industry, including shifts in public policies, trends affecting demand, and innovative financing.
