ABOUT THE PROGRAM:
The Harold E. Eisenberg Foundation’s Annual Real Estate Challenge matches teams from selected universities in a competition focusing on a high-profile development/redevelopment project in the Chicago Metropolitan area. 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 $5,000 scholarship.
The team can range in size between 3-5 students (minimum of 3, maximum of 5). 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.) We understand that Teams may change throughout the competition.
