| Real Estate a Practical Approach - Student Field Trip |
|
On Monday, October 24, students in the Barings class, Real Estate: A Practical Approach, traveled to Boston to learn about the Fan Pier development. Dave Reilly, former CEO of Barings (formerly known as Cornerstone), and Richard Martini of The Fallon Company discussed the Boston market as a whole as well as the history and overall economic impact of the development of the Fan Pier project. Following the presentation, students were able to
tour the 15th floor of One Marina Park Drive where a variety of unit models are showcased and detailed renderings are displayed.
The Center for Real Estate would like to thank Dave and Richard for their continued support of the program, and the Fallon Company for generously providing lunch.

| New Research by Professor Jeffrey Cohen |
Will the state's new bus rapid-transit system - CTfastrak - which has already carried 4 million riders since its inaugural trip in March 2015, also spur growth in housing, restaurants, and other businesses along its route in central Connecticut?
That's a question much on the mind of School of Business professor
Jeffrey Cohen. He has a hunch that the bustling travel system will generate new businesses and housing interest in the communities it serves.
Cohen, who specializes in real estate and finance, has received a $194,000 grant from the state Department of Transportation to start investigating economic changes along the bus route, which connects Hartford and New Britain, with stops in Newington and West Hartford.
To complete the first phase of the study, Cohen, the principal investigator, will collaborate with experts from the UConn School of Engineering's Connecticut Transportation Institute and a doctoral student from the Geography Department. The data they collect will help them later generate results that will be interesting not only to Connecticut residents, but to many other municipal leaders who are investigating the impact of alternative forms of transportation, Cohen said.

Dr. Cletus C. Coughlin was a guest lecturer in Professor Jeffrey Cohen's FNCE 5533 - Real Estate Capital Markets class on Tuesday, September 27, 2016 at the GBLC in Hartford. The title of Dr. Coughlin's presentation was "The U.S. Economy: What's Normal?"
In his 30 years as an economist at the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, Dr. Coughlin's responsibilities have focused on advising senior officials on monetary policy, as well as on academic research on the topics of international trade, urban, regional, and real estate economics. Dr. Coughlin and Professor Cohen have been collaborating on research for the past 15 years, having published on a wide range of topics including property taxation, airport infrastructure issues, the impact of airport noise on housing prices, and the boom and bust of U.S. housing prices. Most recently, they co-authored an article (together with Vincent Yao) on foreclosures, which was published in September 2016 in the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis Review. Read their article here:
