Samantha McDonald moderated the panel “Multifamily Development: Addressing the Issue of Housing” at Bisnow’s Worcester State of the Market event on October 30, 2025. The panel addressed how to deliver more units in a high-demand, high-cost environment.

- How developers are responding to the city’s housing needs in both market-rate and affordable segments
- Which neighborhoods and corridors are seeing the most real estate investment activity and why
- What infrastructure upgrades and transportation initiatives are driving economic development
- How life sciences, healthcare, and innovation districts are impacting site selection and land use planning
- What incentives or municipal programs are in place to help projects amid rising construction costs
- What demographic trends and migration data suggests about Worcester’s future housing demand
- How zoning reforms or local policies are supporting higher-density, mixed-use development
- What new projects are being planned, approved or breaking ground in 2025 and beyond
