Course Highlight: Experiential Capstone Project
The capstone course provides students with an opportunity to integrate and apply the main tenants of the MS Real Estate and Infrastructure program – data, decisions, and community. Each year the program partners with a particular city and obtains data on a critical community infrastructure project that needs repositioning and revitalization. Students are tasked to produce a market feasibility report (along with a financial proforma) that will help the city’s stakeholders decide whether to pursue the project or not. Students will also dissect and analyze the city’s negotiated development review and permitting process to understand what it takes to earn community and political support.
