Happy New Year!
In the tradition of MIT, the Center is committed to bringing to the real estate development process and the real estate industry, the very best that experience and science have to offer, cultivating the enormous potential of the industry to “improve the world by developing better real estate.” This is our vision.
We must harness the vast resources of other disciplines across MIT – planning, design, engineering systems, finance, management and economics – to integrate with our real estate development curriculum and research. We must reach out to and partner with industry to build their trust and commitment. Our curricular focus, our research focus, our cultivation of our alumni – are all part of our dedication to this vision. We plan to continuously articulate our vision (“improve the world by developing better real estate”) because our alumni/ae, our enduring partners, are a key component of that vision. Their importance is reflected by their contributions. As we look to the New Year, we would like to say “thank you” to all of the alumni/ae who have made the fall of 2007 outstanding:
