Cornell International Real Estate Case Competition
Each year, the Center for Real Estate and Finance invites student teams to participate in the Cornell International Real Estate Case Competition. Meeting at the TIAA-CREF offices in New York, the teams are given the case of an actual real estate transaction that has been disguised. In semi-final and final rounds, the teams analyze the transaction and develop a set of recommendations. The three teams that are chosen as the best in the semi-final round then make their presentations to the full panel of judges, who are real estate and finance experts. Cash prizes total $16,000.
2011 Cornell International Real Estate Case Competition
New York, NY - November 10, 2011
The Center for Real Estate and Finance at Cornell University hosted the third annual Cornell International Real Estate Case Competition. The top undergraduate academic real estate programs in the world entered teams of six real estate students to compete in this exciting and enriching academic event. Each team had five days to prepare their analysis of the “Chelsea Plaza” case and make a recommendation, which was based on an actual commercial real estate transaction. Teams presented their analysis to a panel of judges, who determined a winner based on the best overall analysis and presentation. The teams were judged not only on their investment recommendations, their approach to the problem, and their presentation skills, but also on their ability to answer and respond to direct and probing questions posed by the judges.
