    Have you ever wondered what it really takes to be a real estate developer?

    Join us for the Real-Estate Developer 101 Panel - a session designed to break down the development process in a simple, practical way. We’ll walk through the lifecycle of a project, the key players involved, and even dive into a real-world use-case.

    You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of:

    • What it means to be a real-estate developer
    • How real-estate developers work with investors, architects, and contractors
    • The steps from site selection to project completion


    Location: Helms Design District | 8745 Washington Blvd, Culver City, CA 90232

    Cost: Members - $25 | Guest - $40

    This is the perfect opportunity if you’re:

    • A student or young professional curious about real-estate development
    • Already in real estate but interested in the “real-estate developer side” (e.g. an investor, asset manager, or broker looking to expand your perspective)
    Reserve now as spots are limited. Panel will be from 6:30pm - 7:30pm with a happy hour networking event to follow at Fathers Office, 3229 Helms Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90034.

Enjoy the game at an easy pace, catch up with fellow alumni, and share a few stories between swings. Whether you come for the golf, the camaraderie, or both, it’s the perfect way to mix business, friendship, and a little fresh air.

    Happy Hour hosted by BREAA to follow at a location to be determined!
