1 Semester Unit
The course aims to provide students with up-to-date understanding of the various aspects of real estate theory and practice as applied to the North American and specifically the Canadian real estate market. The course will provide a real-life learning experience of Canada’s most notable financial, legal, development, business, research, policy, and government firms. The course is based on academic and professional lectures, site tours, and case presentations by banks, brokers, real estate developers, pension plans, REITs, law firms, and others. The course further includes a visit to Toronto, Canada, the second largest real estate market in North America. Students will be required to submit a final project report that will include an analysis of a proposed real estate project applying the knowledge and tools acquired in the field course. The course will be provided in English and students are thus expected to be fluent in English.
