At nearly 78 million, Gen Y, aged 15- to 32-years old, is now the largest generation in the U.S. Early findings from an upcoming survey being published by the Urban Land Institute suggest that the echo boomer generation, or Gen Y, holds a high view of the American Dream –- despite the housing market collapse -- with the majority of respondents expecting to own homes within five years.

Harvard Wins 2010 MIT Boston Open
The Harvard Graduate School of Design won the 2010 MIT Boston Open, a real estate competition hosted by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Center for Real Estate Alumni Association and held this year at the Prudential Center during the ULI Real Estate Summit at the Spring Council Forum in the city. The competition, a case-based competition open to all U.S. real estate graduate programs, sought redevelopment schemes for a historic and challenging site in Boston. Finalists were invited to the city to compete and pitch their highest and best-use argument to a live audience and judging panel.

Taking second place in the competition was the New York University Schack Institute of Real Estate, and the University of California at Berkeley Haas School of Business placed third. The teams were judged by industry practitioners Phil Bakalchuk of Water Street Investments, Jeff Cushman of Cushman & Wakefield, Kathleen MacNeil of Millennium Partners, and Eric Nelson of the Bulfinch Companies.

Team from Two North Carolina Universities Wins ULI Gerald D. Hines Student Urban Design Award
A team of students representing North Carolina State University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) won the $50,000 top prize in the 2010 Urban Land Institute Gerald D. Hines Student Urban Design Competition with a redevelopment plan for a San Diego neighborhood that emphasizes neighborhood diversity, affordability to families of mixed incomes, and walkability.

Nearly 660 students making up 132 teams from 48 universities in the United States and Canada were among those in the 2010 competition who were challenged to create a design and development proposal for a 73.5-acre (29.7-ha) site in East Village in downtown San Diego. East Village, one of eight neighborhoods in the city’s downtown area, spans a total of 1,450 acres (587 ha) bounded by Interstate 5 and the San Diego Bay. The teams had to develop a transformative vision for East Village, incorporating the highest and best sustainable use, new economic development activities, and evidence of market support for their development activities—all fused with financial justification for their design decisions.

Consensus at ULI’s Real Estate Summit at the Spring Council Forum: Industry Poised for Gradual Recovery
The prevailing mood at ULI’s recent Real Estate Summit at the Spring Council Forum in Boston ranged from cautiously optimistic to outright optimistic. The overriding message was that despite some persistently weak spots, the economy in general and the real estate industry in particular have weathered the worst of the recession and are poised for a gradual recovery.

The event, open for the first time to all ULI members, drew more than 3,100 people and featured keynote presentations by Gus Faucher, economist with Moody’s Economy.com; Sam Zell, chairman of Equity Group Investments; and Peter Linneman, professor of real estate, finance, and public policy at the University of Pennsylvania.
