    Where

    Zoom
    Shark Tank brings together aspiring real estate developers and veterans in the real estate community to evaluate real investment opportunities.
     
    Join us and watch as a panel of expert “Sharks” analyze two developers’ projects using the same methodologies typical in a closed-door development pitch. Take a peek behind those doors as the “Sharks” employ their years of experience to critique proposals and give insight for aspiring investors.
     
    This year, the Sharks will be representative of various backgrounds—finance, architecture, urban planning, and development—to give the candidates a comprehensive set of constructive feedback. Our two developers will pitch their live deals including a mixed-use, active adult community in La Cañada Flintridge, and a 120-unit Class A Multifamily project in San Pedro.
