Your Support Matters. 
Advance the Center's mission and shape the future of real estate. 

The Ohio State University Center for Real Estate is the interdisciplinary nexus of thought leadership for the built environment. We connect students, faculty, alumni, and industry professionals, fostering collaboration and innovation. Through memberships and collaborations, individuals and organizations can meaningfully engage with our mission—contributing expertise, supporting strategic initiatives, and strengthening education, innovation, and industry.
