SUMMARY:AIA|LA City Leaders Breakfast Reception w/ Greg Ames - Southern California Market Leader\, Trammell Crow Company 
DESCRIPTION:AIA|LA City Leaders Breakfast Reception w/ Greg Ames – Southern California Market Leader\, Trammell Crow Company \n2026 City Leaders Breakfast Series Presented By: GRAPHISOFT \nThe 2026 AIA|LA City Leaders Breakfast Series allows architects & designers\, and other community stakeholders to meet directly with key individuals transforming Los Angeles in a roundtable setting to discuss innovative ideas to ensure a healthy\, sustainable\, and economically competitive future. \n  \n \n  \nGreg Ames – Southern California Market Leader\, Trammell Crow Company \nGreg Ames argues that the next great divide in real estate won’t be capital — it will be the developers who figured out how to deploy artificial intelligence across the entire development lifecycle before everyone else caught on. As Senior Managing Director and SoCal Market Leader for Trammell Crow Company and High Street Residential\, he’s executing that thesis now across a $7.4 billion pipeline spanning Los Angeles\, Orange County\, San Diego\, and Las Vegas. Over 20 years and more than $4 billion in directed development — including 2000 Avenue of the Stars\, the MLK Community Hospital Medical Office Building\, and the Vermont Corridor towers for LA County — Ames has built a reputation for the complex ownership structures and creative finance that Southern California’s most consequential projects demand. Named to the LA Business Journal LA500 in 2024 and 2025\, he is a graduate of the US Naval Academy and the Wharton School of Finance. \nThis Reception is Hosted By: \n \nThe 2026 City Leaders Breakfast Series is Presented By:  GRAPHISOFT

Acting quickly can make the difference between approval and missing out.\n– Policy changes: Economic stimulus\, tax reforms\, and regulatory shifts happen often.\n– Maximized impact: Claiming credits earlier in the year allows businesses to strategically allocate funds throughout the fiscal year.\n– Every day you wait is a missed opportunity. These tax credits and incentives were designed to help business owners like you—builders\, problem-solvers\, innovators—recover what you’ve already earned and reinvest it into what’s next.
