Real Estate Studiesat the HarvardUniversity GraduateSchool of Design
“ The Graduate School of Design hasestablished itself as the cornerstoneof real estate education at HarvardUniversity. Design is powerfullyinterdisciplinary, and the Harvard GSD’sreal estate concentrations and executiveeducation programs each foster thetransdisciplinary mindset neededto approach the built environmentholistically and conscientiously. Our globalorientation keeps our students at theforefront of trends and developmentsin the field while also inspiring greatersensitivity toward the purpose andcontext of real estate.”—Mohsen MostafaviDean and Alexander and Victoria Wiley Professor of DesignRight: Brooklyn Bridge Park (Alexa Hoyer)
Real estate studies at the GSDembrace the duality of thediscipline, promoting “ a morecomplex form of creativity onethat seeks to resolve the conflictingmandates of form and finance,place, and profit.”—Blair KaminPulitzer Prize-winning architecture criticat the Chicago TribuneA skyscraper “mustbe every inch a proudand soaring thing.”— LOUIS SULLIVANA skyscraper is “amachine that makesthe land pay.”— CASS GILBERT
REAL ESTATE STUDIESSet amongst a sea of real estate-relatedactivities across five schools at HarvardUniversity—coursework, executive educationprograms, student and alumni clubs, andsponsored events—the GSD is the only schoolat Harvard to offer degree programs with aconcentration in real estate.The Master in Design Studies with a concentration inReal Estate and the Built Environment (MDes/REBE)and the Master in Urban Planning with a concentration inReal Estate and Urban Development (MUP/REUD) offerour students the tools to reach leadership positions inestablished companies or create new disruptive businessmodels to reimagine, design, build, and fund solutions toour most pressing societal challenges.Real estate studies at the GSD attract a new generation ofmulti-talented students who choose the School for its inherentflexibility and transdisciplinary approach. According toGSD Lecturer and REBE Area Coordinator Raymond G. Torto,“The GSD programs prepare our students to look beyond capitalstacks and market analysis to address the growing demand forinnovation in the built environment, including healthy buildings,healthy cities, and the advanced technology in constructionmaterials and building operations.”Our students reflect a broad spectrum of experience, but allrecognize the value of this collaborative approach. For practicingprofessionals, the GSD offers the Advanced ManagementDevelopment Program in Real Estate (AMDP), a one-year,part-time executive-education program for senior executivesand accomplished entrepreneurs.Left: Student design proposal for 1 Vanderbilt Place, New York
The Master in Design Studies with aconcentration in Real Estate and theBuilt Environment (MDes/REBE) isa flexibly defined one-and-a-half-year,post-professional degree program witha newly created option to add a thesissemester for those who want a more indepth experience. It is designed to providefuture real estate practitioners with adeep understanding of a developmentand investment process that examines theintegral connection between design andfinance. Our innovative pedagogy providesan expansive and immersive real estateeducation—including a comprehensiveoffering of real estate finance courses, aunique “global leadership” course set in thefield, an intimate student cohort, and a highlevel of choice and flexibility with access toover 50 real estate-related electives, plus realestate clubs, events, and outreach offered byfive schools within the University.The two-year Master in Urban Planningwith a concentration in Real Estate andUrban Development (MUP/REUD) offersexpertise and concentration in real estateto students seeking a traditional, two-year,studio-based, professional urban planningdegree. MUP students are eligible to declaretheir REUD concentration after completingtheir first year of studies. The MUP/REUDprogram provides a solid foundation inurban planning and the opportunity tocontinue studio work for the duration,complemented by access, usually starting inthe student’s second year, to the same realestate electives and activities offered toMDes students.The Advanced ManagementDevelopment Program (AMDP) is anintensive, six-week program held over thecourse of one year that explores real-worldchallenges, best practices, and effectivemanagement techniques for competing intoday’s dynamic global markets.According to GSD Lecturer Frank Apeseche,“Due to the availability of capital anda historical culture of innovation, theprivate sector holds the most promise forimplementing solutions to the big social,commercial, and environmental problemsof our day. The GSD fosters the type ofinnovative leadership that encouragesour students to become new visionariesof such multidisciplinary solutions.”
“ Today’s world has witnessed an increasinglycomplex built environment that needs to addressthe combination of technological invention,rapid globalization, the high speed of change,and imbedded multitude of cultural meanings.Rising beyond the commodification of buildingsand the built environment, real estate studies atthe GSD seek to elevate our students’ capacity toconceptualize commercial real estate activitieswith an in-depth understanding of their impacton the larger built context and humanity.”— Bing Wang MAUD ’99, DDes ’04Associate Professor in Practice of Real Estate andthe Built Environment, REBE Area Coordinator,and REUD Concentration AdvisorStudent Work for Jakarta: Models of Collective Space for the Extended Metropolis

CONCENTRATION ADVISORS:Richard B. Peiser, Michael D. SpearProfessor of Real Estate DevelopmentBing Wang, Associate Professor inPractice of Real Estate and the BuiltEnvironmentThe Real Estate and UrbanDevelopment (MUP / REUD)concentration provides a solidfoundation in urban planning witha concentration in real estate andurban development. Studentscommit the majority of theirfirst year to core urban planningcoursework, including a year-longurban planning studio, a spatialanalysis and representation course,a history and theory course,and a course in public-privatedevelopment. During the secondyear, students declare an areaof concentration and have theoption to continue studio work,supplemented by electives, or to optout of studio coursework entirely infavor of additional electives.Our planning orientation ensures sensitivitytoward the complexities of the urban context.Urban planners play a central role in fosteringa productive, sustainable, and equitable builtenvironment that encompasses private andpublic buildings, transportation, and otherinfrastructure, all arrayed spatially as landuse and form-based patterns fundamentallyaffecting the quality of human experience. Theplanning program draws on the strength ofthe department, school, and university in fouroverlapping areas: 1) sustainable development;2) social and critical concerns; 3) internationalplanning; and 4) physical planning.Our flexible curriculum allows students tostudy specific subareas of interest. Studentswork with their advisors to design their owncourses of study; one student might focus onpublic-private partnerships, while anothermight focus on construction management.REUD alumni work in the public sector focusedon physical planning or implementation, or inthe private or nonprofit sectors as developers orconsultants.
