Residential development for subsequent sale

From January to March

The first case study consists of putting together, by selecting an actual site in Mexico City, a full business plan for a residential development for subsequent sale. In parallel, you will begin to learn the basic valuation techniques. Promoción Residencial Inversión Patrimonial

Asset investment and management

From March to July

This is the most ambitious project in the programme. Selecting a real building that is on the market, the students draw up a value-added proposal for a mix of uses which they then have to defend before an investment committee made up of non-faculty specialists.

Investment vehicles

September and October

For a whole month you will focus on the capital markets, their exposure to the real estate sector, the structure of the main investment vehicles used and how real estate transactions are financed and you will apply this knowledge to your value-added investment case. In parallel, we will look at the leading international valuation standards, focusing in particular on RICS. Promoción Residencial Estrategia Empresarial

Business strategy

01

360º vision throughout

The MDI Mexico (*) Master of Real Estate is structured as an iterative process, rather than teaching each subject one after the other. The various subjects are revisited each quarter, expanding on the content already taught and applying them to increasingly complex situations.

02

Multiple perspectives

You will take on different roles throughout your post-graduate programme (*) with the dual objective of giving you the versatility you need to work in very different positions and the know-how required to identify the priorities of the various agents you will come in contact with and reach agreements.

03

Guided learning

The MDI Mexico Master (*) of Real Estate is accompanied by an ambitious tutoring programme whereby students can reach out to sector experts when working on their case studies. For the second case study, in which the project groups compete with each other, each group is assigned a primary tutor who helps them put together a unique value proposition.

04

No need to worry about what you have studied before

Any lack of technical and financial training is covered by supplementary classes throughout the first quarter. By the end of the programme you will be fully competent in areas you knew nothing about a few months earlier.

(*) Accreditation of the Lifelong Learning Master’s Degree from UPM as the equivalent of a Master’s Degree - a Maestría - in Mexico will depend on the criteria followed by the local authorities at any given moment in time.
