2010 Real Estate Speaker Series ´╗┐Mondays from 4-6pm Room C250 If you haven't heard, this past Monday began the 2010 Real Estate Speaker Series. For those of you unfamiliar with the Speaker Series, this program is sponsored by BREC whereby seven partner-level professionals in the real estate industry come to campus this fall to share two hours of their time. Professionals will be coming from the areas of real estate private equity, development and real estate investment banking. The purpose of the program is to inform students who are considering a career in real estate, as well as people just wishing to learn more about the industry. However, this program will generally expand students' exposure to successful real estate professionals. These guests will tell you about their careers, lessons learned, views on the market, and of course take any questions you have. First years with an RE interest should definitely be in attendance. However, all other students are more than welcome to join. October Schedule: Oct 4 - Rick Holmstrom, Menlo Equities Oct 11 - Julie Stien, SKS Investments Oct 25 - Alan Chamarro, Grosvenor America If you have any questions, feel free to contact Scott Coleman or Chad Arkoff. |

East Bay Tour-New Californian Apartments (Trader Joe’s Building) Berkeley Wednesday, October 27, 2010 at 8:00pm 9:30pm 1930 Martin Luther King Jr. Way, Berkeley, CA Despite strong community support, the apartment building planned for the corner of University Avenue and Martin Luther King Jr. Way in Berkeley, CA was delayed for five years by a small group of dedicated project opponents. During the approvals process, the project morphed from a 186 unit apartment with limited retail to a 148 unit building featuring a full-service Trader Joe’s grocery store and a small café. After surviving numerous planning and zoning challenges, an appeal to the city council and two lawsuits, the project began construction just two months before Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy.

USGBC - Leasing Challenges and Opportunities for LEED Projects – BAyLUG Wednesday, October 6, 2010 at 5:30pm - 7:30pm Charles Salter Offices, 130 Sutter Street Sixth Floor (next to USGBC-NCC Offices), San Francisco, CA 94104 Pursuing a LEED certification requires a substantial amount of cooperation and negotiation between the building owners and tenants. Whether you are seeking LEED for the building as an owner or for your office space as a tenant, it is important to understand the role of the commercial lease and how it can be a powerful tool for negotiation in accomplishing your sustainability goals. The importance of having a qualified and unified team of brokers, attorneys and consultants who are familiar with the LEED process is crucial to maximizing concessions gained during lease negotiations. This month's BAyLUG will examine the benefits, challenges and opportunities of creating a LEED certified property, and why current market conditions have created the perfect storm for sustainability within the built environment.
