CREATE 2.0

CREATE Fellows 2.0 is a series of eight (8) workshops designed to give participants a deeper understanding of commercial real estate, how value is created, and key fundamentals of commercial real estate as an asset class. Students who complete this course are anticipated to be in a better position to advance more quickly within the industry as a result of their deeper knowledge of real estate as an investment. Participation is limited to CREATE Fellows graduates, SFSU alumni with a CRE certificate or emerging professionals who have otherwise demonstrated a strong interest in CRE. Instructors Jim Arce, Real Concepts, and Nancy Gille, REAL Systems, bring their combined 75+ years of expertise to the course.

Participants enjoyed a building tour as part of the program.

Thank you to Tishman Speyer who graciously donates both meeting space at 595 Market Street and the use of 333 Bush as the case study building.

CREATE completely surpassed all of my expectations. Everything I was able to learn in CREATE I'm actually able to put to work everyday. It's not just property management, its leasing, its design and more.

The CREATE program prepared me for the job and then also through their job board I was able to find a job.

The CREATE program gave me that framework to understand how a building operates that I wouldn't have been able to learn without time in the industry.
