Faculty research provides new perspectives on industry challenges, energizes curriculum development, prompts compelling case study creation, and influences policy decisions and solutions.
Our research focuses on understanding the determinants of commercial property capital expenditure decisions, on constructing price indices for illiquid assets (commercial and residential real estate), and modeling spatial and temporal variations in house prices.
Our faculty frequently partner with distinguished industry professionals who bring relevant, real-time experience to the classroom setting. Lecturers include experts in the areas of architecture, development, engineering, and law.
