2025 Columbia GSAPP Real Estate Development Conference

Fri, Sep 19    8am

Please join Columbia GSAPP for the 2025 Real Estate Development Conference on Elevating Cities; Actioning Real Estate on September 19, 2025, at the Mandarin Oriental, New York City.

The conference will feature influential voices in development, urban planning, investment, architecture, and policy — and demonstrate the dynamic influence of real estate development on shaping the future of cities. Highlights will include how innovative design, sustainable growth strategies, and equitable development practices are transforming cities into more livable, resilient, and connected communities. Through a series of thought-provoking panel discussions, the conference will examine how cities are adapting to complex challenges and what’s required to build urban environments that are smarter, more inclusive, and resilient for the future.
