REFA Networking Social & UConn REFA - CRE Program
Student  Field Trip to UConn Stamford
February 15, 2018

 

 

On February 15th, 2018 the UConn Real Estate students had a full day of events and industry

exposure with their annual visit to Stamford.  At 10:00 AM students met with UConn alum Al Nickerson and Chris Sadick of Building and Land Technology for a tour and presentation and tour of their building at 200 Elm Street. In addition to walking the building and explaining

 its ongoing construction process, Al spoke with the students about the current real estate market in the Stamford area with a specific concentration on the Harbor Point in downtown Stamford and sub-markets. The students then went the UConn Stamford Campus and met with Real Estate Finance Association professionals for lunch and round table discussions.  It was a great opportunity for students to learn about the various sides of real estate and understand what different kinds of real estate roles

 entail on a day to day basis. 


 

    We are grateful for the opportunity to have met with the following real estate professionals:
  Deanna Polizzo (Whitehat Capital); Ernest DesRochers (NorthMarq Capital); JoAnn McGrath 
(Marcus Partners); Jon Gold (Edgehill Partners); Rocco Quaresima (Elm Realty Advisors); Jack Mullen (Summer Street Advisors); Derek Ezvoski  (ORMS); April Condon (Robinson & Cole); Louis Zuckerman (CBRE); John DesRochers (Silverpeak Argentic); John Greenspan (David Adam Realty); David Genovese (Baywater Properties); Thomas Mills (Berkshire Realty Ventures); Michael Varadi (Guardian Life); Bob Palermo (Bankwell Bank).
