We’re thrilled to invite you—our extraordinary alumni—to feature your groundbreaking work in the MSRED Alumni Showcase. This is your chance to present your projects, initiatives, or businesses to an audience of peers, industry leaders, and changemakers.

We’re looking for inspiring submissions that are making a meaningful difference in real estate or adjacent fields. Whether it’s a completed project that has positively impacted its community, an innovative PropTech solution, or a socially responsible venture, we want to celebrate your success!

Here are just a few examples of what we’re excited to see:

  • Built projects that enhance communities and promote sustainability
  • Disruptive technologies or data-driven solutions advancing PropTech or climate resilience
  • Impact investing initiatives with measurable social, environmental, and financial benefits
  • Public policies driving transparency and equity
  • Startups or projects championing responsible development practices
  • Educational programs delivering measurable impact for students or communities

Why Participate?

This is your opportunity to:

  • Share your vision and accomplishments with a sophisticated audience.
  • Gain recognition for your leadership and innovation.
  • Inspire others with your work while fostering meaningful connections across industries.

Selection Criteria

We’re seeking projects that:

  • Have achieved market success or demonstrated clear impact.
  • Showcase excellence in design, planning, economics, or user experience.
  • Address contemporary challenges with forward-thinking solutions.
  • Drive positive change through equity, inclusion, and sustainability.
  • Offer scalable models or replicable strategies for future impact.

Submissions can include images, videos, slide decks, or any media that best highlights your project’s strengths. International alumni are warmly encouraged to apply—virtual or recorded presentations will be arranged for those unable to attend in person!

Celebrating 40 Years of Real Estate Excellence

This milestone event is more than just a celebration—it’s a tribute to the transformative power of education, research, and collaboration. Together, we’ll reflect on the impact of our alumni in areas like placemaking, sustainable development, affordable housing, and cutting-edge technology. Let’s honor their contributions to improving communities, advancing sustainability, and redefining what’s possible in real estate development.

Join us as we celebrate the 40th anniversary of MIT’s Center for Real Estate (CRE) and celebrate the remarkable achievements of our alumni who have shaped the real estate industry over the past four decades. Since its founding in 1983, MIT CRE has been at the forefront of innovation, creating the world’s first one-year master’s program in real estate development and building a global network of over 1,400 visionary leaders.
