The Fogelman family of Memphis, long associated with real estate and development, has given $2 million to the University of Memphis to help it become a world leader in sustainable real estate. The gift was made to support research into and discussion of sustainable real estate development and to improve understanding of how the industry collectively addresses sustainable development and what its role might be. The need for this type of program first emerged from discussion at a ULI conference. Robert Fogelman, son of Martha and Robert Fogelman and trustee of the Martha and Robert Fogelman Family Foundation, serves as program chair on the ULI Memphis executive committee. The Fogelman family is acting on what it sees as a tremendous need.
