On Wednesday through Friday mornings, our MRED+U students were introduced to Finance Bootcamp and Market Analysis Tools, both staples of the orientation program, that were led by Professors Steve Nostrand and Mark Troen, respectively. On Wednesday afternoon, the students met with Advisory Board members Scott Davidson and Carlos Rodriguez as well as long-time MRED+U supporter Venny Torre over lunch to learn more about the activity in the Coral Gables market. Each spoke to his unique business strategy which included discussions on asset class, development, repositioning, and geo-focus.
On Thursday afternoon, after the second session of Finance Bootcamp, our MRED+U students joined other SoA graduate students for a tour of Wynwood Walls, the brainchild of the late Tony Goldman and founding member of the MRED+U Advisory Board whose development has been further launched into permanent history under the direction of MRED+U Advisory Board member Jessica Goldman Sbrenick. This was followed by a tour of the Miami Design District, another visionary project created by MRED+U Advisory Board member Craig Robins and recent recipient of the 2018 ULI Lifetime Achievement Award. The day ended with a SoA graduate reception at Shulman & Associates.
