As we develop this plan, we will be reaching out to the alumni/ae community. Keep an eye out for an alumni survey from David Geltner requesting your feedback and input. Of all of our constituent groups, the alumni/ae are our largest, most committed, and most influential and we need your help. CRE 20th ANNIVERSARY FUNDRAISING THEME Thanks for participating in the selection of the Center's 20th anniversary theme. The top choice was (drum roll please): CRE: 20 Years of Building the Future ALUMNI REUNION WEEKEND -- 9/30/2003 - 10/4/2003 -- SAVE THE DATES and PARTICIPATE (http://web.mit.edu/cre/events.html) Originally, we were planning activities for the days surrounding the MIT/CRE graduation, but the entire week has become a celebration! We encourage all alumni to participate. Members of the Classes of 1988, 1993, and 1998 who will be celebrating their 15th, 10th, and 5th anniversaries, respectively, may want to plan additional reunion activities that complement the ones that are currently scheduled: September 30th (http://web.mit.edu/cre/events.html#politicalprocess) 12:30pm - 3:30pm REAL ESTATE AND THE POLITICAL PROCESS Real Estate is a source of revenue for increasingly financially strapped jurisdictions; it is the means by which communities are shaped physically, economically, and socially; and it is often a regulatory and political target. Each panelist will briefly discuss--each from a particular point of view--planner, municipal official, legal expert, developer and retailer-- how to improve and enhance the process by which these parties reach the decisions that have such a far-reaching impact on the built environment and life today. Keynote Speaker: The Honorable Thomas M. Menino, Mayor of Boston October 2nd (http://web.mit.edu/cre/events.html#reunion) Noon until 2pm RETAIL DEVELOPMENT Three alumni return to the Center to provide an overview of Retail Development: Jake Boyer, CRE '99, The Boyer Company Matt Smith, CRE '00, Smith Brighton Corp Jay Timon, CRE '98, AIG-Baker Development October 3rd 8:30am - 7:30pm Back by popular demand is "ALUMNI BACK-TO-SCHOOL DAY" 8:30am - 10am Elliot Surkin (Legal Issues) 10:00 - 11:30 Tod McGrath (Real Estate Finance) 11:30 - 1:00 LUNCHEON PRESENTATION Gloria Schuck, "Leadership in Real Estate" 1:00 - 2:30 Jim Becker (Building Technology: MIT's Stata Center) 2:30 - 4:00 David Geltner (Alumni/ae Forum: A New Vision for the Center) 5:30 - 7:30 RECEPTION at the Zesiger Center October 4th 11am Graduation at Bartos Theater Speaker: Lorenz Reibling, Chairman Taurus Investment Holding, LLC Boston, MA ICSC SCHOOL NAMED FOR CRE CHAIRMAN John T. Riordan The name of the International Council of Shopping Centers? school for management, marketing and leasing specialists has been changed to the John T. Riordan ICSC School for Professional Development in honor of Riordan?s service as long-time head of the worldwide trade association. Riordan has served as MIT/CRE Thomas G. Eastman Chairman since 2001. ICSC today has approximately 44,000 members in some 80 countries. The schools are held a number of times each year in locations in the US and abroad and feature as faculty some of the top names in the shopping center industry from around the world. A scholarship program has also been established in Riordan?s name. FALL RECRUITMENT The Center's recruitment efforts move into high gear during the Fall. We are asking you to e-mail us the contact information for two people that you think would be good candidates for the program. E-mails should be directed to me (marionoc at mit.edu), Maria Vieira (mvieira at mit.edu), or Stephanie Bright (sbright at mit.edu). We will send each nominee information about the program and will indicate that you have recommended them. It is quite flattering to the nominees, extremely helpful to the Center, and a nice way to provide career development information to people that you know and may be mentoring. So far, we have received three nominations. I hope that there will be more!

Professor Geltner suggested that I contact you re: an opportunity I came across. I've already emailed certain members of my class (cre2003) about this, but feel free to forward this email to other class years if you think it's appreciate. My friend told me about a resort (golf + leisure ctr) opportunity in Algarve, Portugal. It's an area with great golf courses and there are many English and German retirees. I thought perhaps you may know of CRE alums or other contacts who may be interested. The zoning + urban development have been fully licensed and have the full support of local authorities. The site is 259 ha, has good access, and was originally agricultural, now fully approved for tourism. The sale price of the land is about 35 million euro. The approved development includes: 2 luxury hotels Villas for rent Single family housing plots Golf club + golf academy (five 9-hole courses + 9-hole academy course) Country club with swimming pools Tennis club Bowling green Outdoor recreation centre Equestrian centre Health clinic The owner wants to sell the undeveloped land to a developer. What do you think? Who might be interested in a project of this scale (developing solely or in a partnership or in syndication)? If you know of investors / acquisition officers of opportunity funds / resort + country club developers-operators / hotel chains / retirement + community developers or others I should talk to, let me know! Much thanks!
