Luxury Commercial Real Estate Summit 2026
Join us in New York on Wednesday, September 16, 2026
The world's premier luxury commercial real estate conference for professionals in real estate, design, development, brokerage and beyond

A production of Luxury Roundtable and Herrick, supported by Luxury Marketer

Why attend The luxury commercial real estate business is undergoing a significant shift defined by a flight to quality, soaring demand for experiential spaces and the integration of strict environmental, social and governance standards. Are you prepared for both the opportunities and the challenges? In a way, the sector mirrors the K-shaped nature of the larger economy with a highly bifurcated market.

This daylong event in New York on Wednesday, September 16 will create valuable networking opportunities for delegates and also deliver on-point insights and analysis from speakers who are stalwarts in the business. This is the only event in the business dedicated to the luxury end of the commercial real estate industry.

Speakers Some of the biggest players in the luxury commercial real estate world will speak and network at the event including leaders at Soloviev Group, Toll Brothers, Extell Development Company, GGP, Cushman & Wakefield, Rabina Properties, McKinsey, Herrick, Pembrooke & Ives, RXR, Sterling Equities, Minnesota Vikings Football, Viceroy Hotels & Residences, Aspen Skiing Company, P1 Motor Club, JF Capital Advisors, Odyssey Retail Advisors, Charney Companies, Vanbarton Group, FXCollaborative, Brooklyn Heights Advisory Group/Belmont Village, Alchemy Properties, Haddad Brands and Jeffrey Beers International.

Topics A range of keynotes, fireside chats and panels will cover the state of commercial luxury real estate, commercial real estate’s luxury playbook, future of commercial development and the growing opportunities in mixed-use destinations such as stadiums, arenas and entertainment districts.

Other sessions will focus on what high-net-worth travelers expect from hospitality, navigating landmarks, luxury and growth in New York, anatomy of super-high-end developments, luxury retail as a destination, state of luxury condos and the changing face of the office.

Trends Here's what you'll hear in more detail from the key players in the luxury commercial real estate sector that makes this event a must-attend:

Flight to quality: Premium Grade A office spaces and top-tier retail corridors continue to see strong leasing demand from HNW and UHNW individuals, institutional investors, Fortune 500 companies, and global luxury brands and groups such as LVMH, Kering, Richemont, Chanel, Hermès, Prada, Giorgio Armani, Puig and Swatch Group. On the other hand, older or poorly located properties face obsolescence.

Experiential and mixed-use spaces: High-end retail real estate is pivoting toward experiential models and placemaking. Properties are incorporating physical and digital integration, luxury dining and lifestyle centers to drive foot traffic.

ESG and smart tech: Energy-efficient, sustainably certified – LEED or green-building certified – and highly digitized properties are asking top dollar. Buyers and corporate tenants are demanding automated systems, predictive AI for operations and smart building technology.

Capital and lending pressures: While capital markets are showing signs of improvement, operators are navigating challenges related to loan maturities and stricter underwriting standards.

Landmarks, Luxury and Growth: Navigating Development in New York City

As demand grows for world-class commercial, hospitality, retail and mixed-use projects, developers, architects and city stakeholders must navigate a complex landscape of landmarked properties, evolving zoning regulations, community priorities and sustainability goals.

This panel will explore how conservation, adaptive reuse and thoughtful development are shaping the next generation of luxury projects across New York City. Panelists will discuss the opportunities and challenges of transforming historic buildings and underutilized sites into high-value destinations, role of design in preserving neighborhood character and the strategies required to secure approvals and build consensus among public and private stakeholders.
