The Real Estate Challenge matches teams, graduate and undergraduate levels, from select universities in a competition focusing on a high-profile development/redevelopment project in the midwest. Each team is assigned the same case site and provided the same essential information and assumptions about the property. The students’ development plan must constitute a comprehensive analysis and conclusion of how to maximize the potential of the property from both a quantitative (financial) and qualitative (feasibility) standpoint. The winning team(s) receive a $7,500 scholarship.
To create a diverse and comprehensive strategy, we encourage you to build a diverse discipline team (including real estate development, finance, design, law, urban planning, construction, etc.). Average teams are 3-5 individuals.
