Great school or college competition to be involved in! Internships on offer!   Property Needs You Challenge - https://lnkd.in/eJcwF8un   Property Needs You is a collaboration of the 12 real estate consultancies, whose aim is to inspire, educate and encourage talent into property careers. The challenge asks young people - aged 13-21 - to submit design ideas for a local space in their town, city, school or neighbourhood that would benefit from a makeover and design thinking. All types of spaces – including buildings, parks, schools, streets and stations – can become the focus of the design with entrants able to portray their vision in a variety of formats, from sketches to mood boards, virtual creations to 3D models.   As part of the application, entrants are asked why they chose the particular space to redesign, and for their vision of what the space could become. Alongside the 5 internships on offer to winners aged 16 and above, 3 runner up prizes include school/college workshops.    The firms backing the challenge are: Allsop LLP, Avison Young, BNP Paribas Real Estate, Carter Jonas. CBRE, Colliers, Cushman & Wakefield, Gerald Eve, JLL, Knight Frank, Lambert Smith Hampton, Savills   Hebe Williams, Graduate Recruitment Manager at Savills, said: “The idea behind the challenge is to encourage young people to think creatively about their local environment, and a particular space they’ve chosen to redesign, thinking about the potential of the space. In particular, thinking about what it could do and who could use it, and the impact that could have on their life and the lives of others.    “Young people are responsible for the built environment of the future, from where we live to where we go to school, work and play. The challenge is a chance for entrants to really consider the role they could play in positively influencing the built environment, local communities and ultimately, people’s lives. And of course, the 5 internships on offer will give winners the chance to gain valuable work experience with one of the world’s top property firms.”   The challenge closes on the 17th December 2023 and can be entered at: https://lnkd.in/eh9uBuw9. 🌳Ross Musgrove🌳 West Midlands Combined Authority The Careers & Enterprise Company

Came in and found this last night. 📚 Bought this book in Hawaii right before my internship with Cresa 🌺 Remember wanting to learn everything about commercial real estate. I still get to learn everyday and am probably going to be learning for the next 20 years🤣 Looking back on it CRE investing seems like a pretty dumb thing to read about before starting an internship, but I vividly remember going to the Ala Moana Center in Honolulu and asking the Powells Books employee for every book they had on Commercial Real Estate. Oh how time flies! #CommercialRealEstate #InternshipMemories #AlwaysLearning

Gencom Founder and Principal Karim Alibhai recently joined FIU Chaplin School of Hospitality & Tourism Management’s new Hospitality Real Estate Advisory Board alongside other leading #SouthFlorida real estate leaders. The board is focused on enhancing the practical relevancy of the Chaplin School's real estate curriculum and expanding experiential learning opportunities for students through internships, mentoring and direct engagement with industry leaders. According to the official release, real estate comprises the largest portion of most hospitality investments. In addition, its operations-intensive nature positions it among the most complex of all types of commercial real estate. These two factors, together with ever greater demand for experience-based value creation across all commercial property sectors, are expected to drive strong demand for hospitality-specific real estate expertise well into the future.

I loved this post from Asya Sharrow, and I think it's a great thought-exercise: Which early rejection are you most thankful for? For me, it was probably being rejected from the University of Michigan's Creative Writing Program (now called the Helen Zell Writers’ Program) back in ~2000. Being a fiction writer was my greatest ambition at the time. Not only did I have a great deal of passion for writing, but I also had a VERY, VERY high opinion of my abilities. (Yes, even back then!) I thought the application packet I submitted was going to blow everyone's wigs off, guaranteed. Except it didn't. And being labeled "not good enough" made me rethink...everything. Certainly my career path, but also my ability to self-evaluate. I'm not going to lie. It really hurt at first. But it also forced me to get creative about how I wanted to apply my talents and interests. After I got the rejection letter, I decided to re-focus on working for The Michigan Daily and exploring opportunities in journalism. That led to a madcap five-year run in the world of New York magazine publishing, and then seven years in online media — all of which gave me the skills I needed to transition to content marketing, a profession that has made me feel truly successful for the first time in my life. Now, what if I was one of the chosen few that got picked for U of M's Creative Writing Program? What if I'd gotten accepted, instead of rejected? I really don't know. Maybe I would have developed the skills and confidence to eke out a living as a semi-obscure fiction writer who publishes something every few years and never sells enough books to pay back my advance (or pay off my MFA loans), who has to supplement my passion through teaching creative writing, even though I was never a fan of being in classrooms in the first place. And that's a *best-case* scenario for most people who go through these programs. As a working artist, I would have continued to build my life on rejection letters and acceptance letters — a terrible way to live. My early rejection felt like a steel door slamming shut on one pathway in my life. But there were so many other pathways in front of me! I just didn't see them at first. Once I found them, the rest of my life began.

Dear Network, I'm delighted to announce my upcoming summer internship with Knight Frank. This venture will plunge me into the core activities of the real estate industry, where I will engage with critical marketing strategies, detailed feasibility studies, market research, and the subtleties of capital markets and sales tactics. I anticipate a rigorous and enriching experience that will challenge me to leverage my academic background in a practical, high-stakes environment. Eagerly awaiting the professional growth this summer will bring! #KnightFrank #RealEstate #Internship #Summer2024

The lesson I learned this week is that execution determines whether you’ll achieve your projected ROI. I was introduced to the collaboration that Greystar prioritizes to ensure deals are followed through to the end. This involves continually moving the project along with input from property managers to regional leaders, ensuring goals of successful asset management are understood, even when your job is to source and evaluate deals. I learned that an introduction to underwriting involves determining the potential a product can have in a market. This includes asking the initial question: “What does that piece of land and its surrounding areas offer to escalate lease-up potential and essentially improve the quality of life while also providing a return for shareholders?” I visited the property below to have a visual of the lessons learned this week. As it was a case study I did back in December of last year. #internship #realestate

Last week, I successfully completed my summer internship at JLL research division. Over the past few years, China's real estate sector has faced intense scrutiny, from the country's declining housing market to discussions about implementing council taxes. I am grateful for the opportunity to gain firsthand insights into the Chinese commercial real estate market. I learned a great deal about the importance of field research, model development, city-level analysis, and the application of satellite imagery and geographic information systems. #realestate #cre #chinaeconomics #jll

As the summer internships begin, I encourage my clients and friends to pass along my information to connect with these great young professionals in our industry. Happy to chat about my path in commercial real estate, how I went from engineering to multifamily brokerage and the synergies. I owe a lot to the mentors I interfaced with early in my career and would love to serve in that role moving forward for this next generation. Always happy to speak, please send them my way! #multifamily #multifamilyinvesting #realestate #realestateinvesting #cushwake
