״This is a great way to learn about development. I brought my own project and am getting great help and feedback on that. It’s hands-on, and I can really get practical knowledge about the real estate development process. I love the presentations and how personal they feel. ״

The Urban Real Estate Center put together a detailed program on real estate development with some of the biggest names in the industry. I experienced direct contact with titans in the NY market throughout the program. Joe Berko is knowledgeable, experienced and generous providing case studies from the projects he has invested, along with access to his team at Astor Realty Capital. The team is willing to help with issues you might encounter during your deal analysis including weekly access as an Alumni. The alumni group they created is full of like minded professionals from different aspects of the industry that I am happy to be part of and excited to see grow. I already recommended a colleague take a program as I see this as huge opportunity for a professional to grow in real estate.

I believe the Urban Real Estate Capital Raise Program hands down has been the best investment that I have made in the real estate industry since I joined the industry myself. The instructors, the guest speakers and the curriculum have provided me an immense amount of value since I joined the program.

I have had a great experience and found the instructors and staff to be engaging and proactive in maximizing our learning. The instructors make the effort to tie in not only their own but also the students real world experience.

I am finding the course very beneficial, very real world. They bring real world projects to the mix - real world people doing real world projects. -

"I’ve been mentored by many investment real estate professionals, brokers and developers. The URE Center’s master class has given me a true to life perspective of the stories my mentors have been articulating over the past few years. I now have the tools and blueprint to pursue my most ambitious projects. Thank you URE Center for taking such a vast subject and making it digestible for most real estate professionals."
