Student teams from the Chapman University Argyros College of Business & Economics and the University of California, Irvine, Paul Merage School of Business Center for Real Estate will compete head-to-head on April 15 in NAIOP SoCal’s 5th Annual Orange County Real Estate Challenge. To compete, each five-member student team will present their vision for the highest and best use for this year’s challenge site.
The site is an approximately 8.3-acre redevelopment opportunity located at 1280 S. Anaheim Blvd. in Anaheim. It comprises six separate vacant parcels formerly used for various automotive-related services. The site was acquired by Anaheim’s former Redevelopment Agency and identified in the city’s long-range property management plan as a strategic location for future market-rate development.
The students are challenged to present a proposal to the City of Anaheim to revitalize this site and introduce a vibrant mix of new uses that will offer economic benefits and enhance community vibrancy.
“This is a fantastic showcase for these students as they share their knowledge and expertise to the judges, the city and our audience,” said David Nazaryk, NAIOP SoCal OC Real Estate Challenge Chair. Sponsorship opportunities are still available, and tickets can be purchased here.
