In April 2026, Sage Credit hosted its second annual real estate event in Durham, bringing together more than 100 professionals for an evening of networking and two panel discussions on building and investing in the Triangle. This page includes a summary of what was discussed, along with photos from the night.

California’s housing shortage has been decades in the making. SB 9, along with related state laws, is designed to unlock new opportunities for small-scale infill development in established neighborhoods. For developers and investors, these changes open up a pathway that avoids many of the delays and costs that have slowed traditional projects.

Amid these challenges, new state laws such as SB 9 have opened the door to a more practical solution. By allowing multiple homes on parcels once limited to a single house, these laws make it possible to streamline the creation of new housing within existing neighborhoods.

SCIP hosted a property showcase alongside Hylton Daniel design + construction. This showcase featured Hylton Daniel’s Sedgefield St. project, financed by SCIP — two thoughtfully crafted 2-bedroom, 2-bath homes in Durham, NC.

This event was an opportunity to learn, network, and connect with others involved in real estate investment in the Triangle. It was an energizing evening of connection for the community, followed by a panel discussion and Q&A.
