Center for Capital Markets and Real Estate

EducationInsightAnalysis

Research, Networking, Insight, Analysis

The ULI Center for Capital Markets and Real Estate was founded in 2009 with a mission to promote understanding of the real estate capital markets and provide leadership in fostering a healthy and productive real estate capital markets sector. ULI currently is engaged in real estate finance and capital market activities and programs across the organization, and the Center is integrally involved in developing, guiding, and/or showcasing both ongoing and new programs.

The Center’s current focus is on tracking, analyzing, and exploring real estate investment trends globally. The Center pursues this via publications and events on emerging trends in real estate around the world, through conferences and forums on capital market and investment issues, through data gathering and analysis via barometer and forecast publications, and through articles and interviews in Urban Land magazine. These efforts provide timely information to members and the broader real estate community, create opportunities for members to learn and make important connections, and generally contribute to improved professionalism and better understanding among participants in the real estate finance and investment community.

Working with partners, sponsors, and supporters, the Center will vigorously pursue these activities to ensure that it is both a significant contributor to ULI’s mission and financial stability, and will continue as a respected national thought-leader on capital markets and real estate.
