ABOUT THE CASE 2013

The CASE focuses on real estate acquisition and development financial underwriting at the asset level. The competition mimics the professional circumstances and assignments that students interested in real estate finance, acquisitions and development are likely to encounter after graduation.

Registered teams of no more than four graduate students are sent a competition packet that includes important information about a specific development site in the United States. Teams will have five days to submit a brief concept narrative (LOI), a PowerPoint presentation, a full Excel-based proforma and a final ‘bid price.’ Based on this information, a panel of judges will select 12 teams to travel to Boston to compete in a semi-final round in front of a host of judges and industry professionals. Three teams will be selected from the semi-finalists to advance to the final round to be judged by industry veterans in front of a live audience.
