To a sold-out crowd at Bissinger’s new headquarters on Broadway, ULI and FOCUS St. Louis delivered the 2015 St. Louis Emerging Trends.

The program, featuring statistical data compiled from local survey and insights from a panel of regional experts, provided guests with an interesting look into what may be in store for the St. Louis region in the coming year.

The report highlighted a wide variety of insights and trends in areas such as transit, economic and policy issues, housing, and growth trajectories for various neighborhoods and business districts within the St. Louis region. Some key data points included:

• 60% of respondents viewed public incentives favorably
• 59% of respondents believe underwriting standards will become more rigorous in the next 18 months
• 54% of respondents viewed job growth prospects as somewhat to very positive; 23% saw just the opposite
