Real Estate Lab (offered in winter quarter) is an experiential learning course that allows Kellogg students the opportunity to participate in a quarter-long project, working in a research and advisory role for a sponsor firm. Participants will be exposed to a project related to an investment, development, public policy, or another real estate question. Enrollment in the course is by application only. Participants will be exposed to the day-to-day working life of the firm, spending approximately 2 days per week working in the sponsor office or remotely. Grades are determined based on work product, communication with the instructor, and sponsor feedback. There is no final exam. This course is similar to the PE Lab, but the sponsor companies are in the real estate industry. Examples of past sponsor companies include:
- Bissell Street
- Hamilton Ventures
- Incubation Capital Partners
- L3 Capital LLC
- Monro Capital, Inc.
- Pearlmark
- Quartz Lake Capital, LLC
- Sheridan Road Partners
- Temerity Strategic Partners
- VentureMark, Inc.
- Walton Street Capital, LLC
Applications can be submitted through the Course Applications section of the Student Bidding Registration site.
