NYC Trek Attendees in JDS Development's Brooklyn Tower at 9 DeKalb Avenue
On Friday, October 28, a group of over a dozen students convened in New York for the first real estate “trek” of the year. Representing Harvard Law School, Harvard Business School, the Graduate School of Design, and the Harvard Extension School, the students were able to gain in-depth exposure to some of the industry’s top players, including those from development, private equity, lending, and real estate law.
The group visited the following firms: Tishman Speyer, Gibson Dunn, Bridge Investment Group, Starwood Capital Group, and JDS Development. The trek concluded with a hard hat tour of JDS’s Brooklyn Tower project, a supertall residential tower in Downtown Brooklyn.
Special thanks to all of the firms that hosted us and the Harvard Alumni Real Estate Board for coordinating the trek!
