Against a backdrop of weaker demand, frozen capital, and uncertain values, real estate and facilities leaders must create value from their physical assets while using fewer resources. Buildings must be rethought; existing assets need to be repositioned using best-in-class materials and methods. Drawing from world-leading faculty at both Harvard Business School and the Harvard University Graduate School of Design, this new leadership development program provides a multidimensional toolkit for bringing projects to market.

Real Estate Development, Design, and Construction brings future industry leaders together with world-renowned academics and real estate practitioners to consider scenarios, best practices, alternative strategies, and effective management techniques. This leadership development program is intended to help participants transcend a volatile real estate environment through strategies that add long-term value to their real estate holdings.

Program Topics

This program explores the most critical strategic issues that currently confront the real estate development, asset management, design, and construction industries. Participants will enhance their real estate expertise and decision-making capabilities by exploring the latest approaches to feasibility analysis, product planning, design, project management, redevelopment, and delivery of new and repositioned assets.

Participants

This program is primarily designed for real estate professionals who work directly with buildings, business, academic, and medical campuses, portfolios, and large developments. Experienced financial, facility, and asset executives from for-profit firms including lenders, corporate users, and investors, as well as leaders from not-for-profit institutions such as hospitals and schools, will benefit.
