️Our Portland State University REEL PDX students had an incredible time touring the Vancouver Innovation Center (The Vic) in West Vancouver! A huge thank you to our tour guide Ron Schinik of New Blueprint Partners, LLC and Natassjia Steeves & Fabio Arias, Assoc. IIDA of Scott Edwards Architecture for hosting us and sharing your insights. The VIC, spanning 179 acres, is set to become a hub for living, working, playing, and community building along the beautiful Columbia River. It was fascinating for our students to see & learn about the upcoming changes and the growth of the industrial market in this area. Our tour, guided by Ron, Natassjia, and Fabio, was filled with valuable insights into the redevelopment plans and the future of industrial spaces. The VERY candid Q&A session was particularly enlightening, offering a deeper understanding of the vision behind VIC. We look forward to seeing the progress of this master plan community (and we love that water vapor electric fireplace - genius)!

Meet one our PSU real estate students, Collin Buzzelli. Collin is a first generation college student getting ready to graduate. After graduating with a B.S. in Business Management & Leadership with a Certificate in Real Estate Property Management, he plans on pursing his education in the Master of Science in Real Estate program at PSU where he was awarded a Center for Real Estate scholarship. Michael Havlik nominated Collin for a commencement profile saying: "Collin is a single parent working full-time. He had been working as a Hazardous materials Shipper at Industrial Craters and Packers when he decided to make a career pivot. Collin invested himself in his classes and demonstrated a strong aptitude for real estate. He is now working at CRMC, and advancing quickly, now overseeing many properties. He was recently accepted into the Mast of Science in Real Estate program and will start in the fall. We are all very proud of Collin - he is positive, smart, hard working - a wonderful person who has overcome many challenges." Collin thinks that what has helped prepare him the most for the future has been the amazing real estate courses he took while pursuing a certificate of property management. "I've learned how to create requests for proposals, letters of intent, thoroughly and accurately review a commercial property lease, and how to create an in-depth business plan for both commercial & multifamily properties."

Last week, our Center hosted 85 Ida B. Wells-Barnett High School Finance students for their ULI Northwest UrbanPlan team presentations to City Council. 20 student teams were given a RFP and had 8 weeks to work on their development plans. The teams had the opportunity to present their very thorough and well thought out development plans that took into consideration sustainability, housing affordability & community planning. It's never too early to plan for post high school! Meagan An, Michael Havlik, & Julia Freybote shared about Portland State University - School of Business' undergraduate & graduate real estate programs. The day ended with our PSU Ambassadors giving the students personal tours of our beautiful Portland State University campus. We could not be more impressed with the hard work, creativity, & professionalism of these students. We are honored to partner with ULI UrbanPlan as we collectively help educate and excite the next generation of real estate professionals.
