Case Studies
“Infusing the academic experience with innovative real-world materials keeps students in step with change and new ideas. Columbia is in the perfect position to leverage its exceptional intellectual capital with practical examples through the MBA Real Estate Case-Study Project.”
- Jerry I. Speyer MBA ’64, President and CEO, Tishman Speyer Properties
Original, cutting-edge case-study materials — developed and delivered by industry leaders offering intimate knowledge of the subject — are a defining feature of Columbia Business School’s real estate curriculum.
Over the past decade, the case-study program has grown into an extraordinary compilation of materials: more than 60 cases, with new material added each year. Participating firms are some of the most important players in the industry.
A number of these cases, which are used extensively throughout the MBA Real Estate Program, are produced as part of the Caswell J. Caplan Case Series in Real Estate.
