London Alumni Reception

A Powerful Alumni Network Supporting You at Every Stage of Your Career

The alumni of NYU Stern’s real estate programs form a dynamic and influential global network of leaders in investment, development, finance and capital markets, and technology and entrepreneurship. From New York and London to Dubai and beyond, our alumni are advancing the future of real estate through their professional achievements and continued engagement with the Institute and one another.

Through regular events, roundtables, and reunions hosted in major global cities, the Chen Institute and the Stern Real Estate Alumni Council provide opportunities for alumni to connect, exchange insights, and remain at the forefront of industry change. These gatherings strengthen our community and reinforce Stern’s role as a global hub for real estate thought leadership.

Alumni are invited to take part in a range of activities that deepen our ties and support the next generation of Stern talent. Opportunities include mentoring current students, guest lecturing or speaking on campus, serving in leadership roles within the alumni network, and shaping Institute programming in collaboration with faculty and staff.

We are always delighted to hear from our alumni—whether you’re interested in getting involved, attending an event, sharing an update, or simply reconnecting. Please do not hesitate to get in touch with us to learn more about current opportunities and ways to engage.
