Partner Tim Law Moderates Key Development Panel at Real Estate 360 Conference

Lawson Lundell partner Tim Law moderated a panel as part of the Real Estate 360 conference, hosted by the Real Estate Institute of British Columbia (REIBC) on October 2, 2026, at the Delta Hotels Burnaby Conference Centre.

The panel, titled "Does It Pencil? The New Economics Driving Go/No-Go Decisions," featured four leading B.C. builders and developers in a discussion on project viability.

The session examined the real-world variables that determine whether a proposed development moves forward or stalls, including:

• Land costs
• Construction pricing
• Financing
• Development charges
• Approval timelines
• Market conditions

Behind every proposed development is a financial model. The panel discussed the economic realities shaping development choices across British Columbia and addressed the core question facing proponents today: Would you build it?

Real Estate 360 brings together the individuals who finance, plan, insure, and build in British Columbia to examine the systems and long-term decisions shaping the province.
