REIAC Challenge
On April 23, four teams of Georgia State University real estate students gathered before a panel of industry judges to present their development visions for a strategically located Midtown property owned by ING. At stake were scholarships for each member of the winning team presented by the Southeast Chapter of the Real Estate Investment Advisory Council. Proposals ranged from a medical center, to student housing, to mixed-use developments featuring medical, office, retail and multifamily components. And the verdict? Said ING's Vice President of Real Estate Finance, Greg Michaud, "Excellent proposals and presentations all around. I would hire any of the students who presented tonight." In a very close decision, Greg and his fellow judges, John Beeland of Green Grove Partners, Michael Sauer with BVT Development and Paul Gallimore of Georgia State went with the student housing proposal presented by John McMann, Tim Rollins and Chung Yoo, pictured with the sponsors.
