The Chen Institute convenes leaders in industry and policymaking in support of vigorous dialogue on issues of critical importance to the real estate sector and its role in the broader economy and society. Over the last decade, the Center for Real Estate Finance's spring and fall symposia have addressed issues including opportunity zones, infrastructure investment and finance, the reinvention of retail real estate, and the political economy of real estate.
