Westman Centre for Real Estate Studies: Advancing Real Estate Education 2026

The Westman Centre for Real Estate Studies at the Haskayne School of Business is expanding applied learning and industry engagement to prepare the next generation of real estate professionals in Alberta.

With support from the Alberta Real Estate Foundation, the project will sustain and grow the Excel Real Estate Financial Modelling Program, delivered in partnership with the Urban Land Institute, equipping students with practical skills in financial modelling, valuation and investment analysis. Funding will also support the Future of Real Estate Breakfast Series, which convenes industry leaders, students and community stakeholders to explore issues shaping Alberta’s built environment, along with academic input to help curate relevant research, guide topic and speaker selection and identify opportunities for collaboration between Haskayne and the School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape focused on shared experiential learning for students. ​
