The deep recession may have had you wondering when the “smart money” would start returning to the middle-market building materials and construction services markets, which were famously slaughtered over the past four years.
If you know Ira Starr, managing director at Long Point Capital in New York City, he’d be telling you that the answer is now.
He says the markets are beginning to show signs of life. For example, economists are predicting that over the next five years, as the economy recovers and population growth continues, housing starts should jump back to their pre-recession 1.5 to 1.7 million yearly levels, up 200% from today.
What’s more, more and more private equity deal opportunities are beginning to shake loose not only in the residential arena, but also in commercial (retail and office space), institutional (schools, hospitals, churches), and even government (bridges, highways, facilities) categories.
That’s why you’ll want to reserve the date of Thursday, June 28, to attend The Capital Roundtable’s all-NEW day-long conference on “Private Equity Investing in Middle-Market Building Materials & Construction Services Companies.”
You’ll hear why over 80% of building materials businesses are projecting revenue increases for 2012. And why the combined residential and non-residential construction markets are projected to top $605 billion by the end of the year.
Ira Starr will chair this important event. Ira is a founding partner of Long Point, and has significant expertise in the building products, construction services, professional services, home furnishings, and industrial manufacturing sectors. At Long Point, Ira has overseen 12 building product deals in their last couple of funds, ranging from commodity to value-added building products, distribution, and engineering and architectural services.
You’ll also hear from 20 top senior investors and other industry experts who will share what they’re doing and seeing and hearing.
So please be sure to mark your calendar today for Thursday, June 28, and make plans to join us in New York City.
