Auburn University’s School of Real Estate Development tours Grow

Friday, June 20th we had a visit from students within Auburn University’s School of Real Estate Development.

The program primarily has working professionals in the building, development, and real estate industries in a 2 year masters program.

For their Northwest trip they were focused on sustainable development, which gave us an opportunity to discuss different certification programs, response from the market, risks within this market, and how their region has reacted to the idea of more efficient, sustainably developed residential communities.  It seems it continues to be a hard sell in the Southeast with little support in incentives and educational programs.

The group was very excited and inspired by what we are doing.
