Our MRED+U faculty is as dynamic and diverse as the Miami landscape which they have helped to design and develop over the last several decades. All of our faculty have significant hands-on experience and multi-disciplinary skill sets that they bring into the classroom on a daily basis. Many work full-time in the real estate community as developers, urban designers, and construction managers and others underwrite large and medium scale projects and oversee extensive networks of sales and marketing teams. All bring their passion and enthusiasm for real estate development and urbanism into the classroom offering an unparalleled experience to our students.
