Elizabeth Youngblood (’91)SPIRE Executive Director

2016 was my first full year as executive director of SPIRE and a great deal was accomplished. Programmatically, it was the organization’s most productive ever. Most importantly, I’m proud of the growth in SPIRE’s outreach to students and faculty. One of the core tenets of SPIRE’s mission is student and faculty outreach. We made great progress in this regard in 2016. Additionally, SPIRE operated in a fiscally successful manner, helping insure its long-term viability and its ability to implement its mission. All this energy is a mirror of the energy of the Stanford real estate community at large.

Patrick Tooley (MBA ’98)SPIRE Interim Chairman

David Butler (’96)SPIRE President

SPIRE transitioned its board and staff leadership, moving from Southern California to downtown Palo Alto in 2016. Even with those transitions, 2016 was possibly the most successful year in SPIRE’s history. We made great strides on campus: we created a student and faculty grant application process to support important research, we offered students complimentary SPIRE memberships, and our campus student club, ASPIRE, launched and quickly amassed over 200 student members and sponsored eight events. We hosted the greatest number of alumni events for a record number of alumni, our membership swelled by 300 and membership in the Stanford Real Estate Council (SREC) is full, with a wait list of those wishing to join. SPIRE continues to thrive and add value to the entire Stanford community within real estate, place making and the built environment.

Alumni Networking and Education

Student Outreach

Educational Program Development

SPIRE provides a platform for alumni to connect with one another in professional and social settings, and across disciplines and geographies, thereby fostering relationships and strategic partnerships.

SPIRE connects current students and recent graduates with Stanford alumni engaged in real estate–related careers, providing opportunities for mentorships, internships and career shadow programs.

SPIRE is engaged with Stanford University faculty and administrators to promote and implement a multidisciplinary real estate program producing world-class research and graduates.

SPIRE empowers the Stanford real estate community to innovate within real estate, place making and the built environment.

In 2009, a group of Stanford alumni recognized the opportunity to connect alumni, students, educators and staff to facilitate the sharing of real estate knowledge, ideas and best practices. They founded Stanford Professionals in Real Estate (SPIRE).

Today SPIRE is the only real estate–related alumni club within the Stanford network, boasting a membership of more than 2,000 Stanford alumni, faculty and students. While SPIRE is an official alumni club of Stanford University, it is also an independent not-for-profit entity. SPIRE is uniquely focused on supporting alumni professionals in the real estate industry, affording opportunities and exposure to current students, and encouraging Stanford University to develop a robust multi-disciplinary real estate education and research program.

SPIRE’s history of innovation and commitment to facilitating new and creative opportunities to connect the Stanford community of alumni, students, educators and staff ensures that SPIRE will continue to embrace the sharing of real estate knowledge, ideas, and practices for years to come.

SPIRE’s Three Pillars

SPIRE was founded upon three core pillars which represent the foundation of the organization, the focus of the Stanford real estate community, and the value SPIRE strives to provide its members and partners.

SPIRE “has become not only the most amazing club in the entire portfolio of 200+ Stanford has all over the globe” and has the largest membership but is also the “most active club in the history of Stanford University.”Howard Wolf (’80)Vice President, Alumni Affairs | President, Stanford Alumni Association

In MeMorIaMLou Cohen (’78)Chairman, SPIRE Board of Directors

Lou played an instrumental role in building SPIRE and was a natural leader, assuming the role of chairman of the board in early 2016. He had been involved actively in the Stanford Real Estate Council (SREC) since its formation. Lou was a wonderful human being, possessed a sharp legal mind and was a good friend. He will be missed.

SPIre MeMberShIP

The 2,300 SPIRE members represent diverse areas of the Stanford community, including alumni and students who are involved in multiple facets of the real estate industry. SPIRE members live and work in 34 states and 22 countries, and represent each of Stanford’s academic schools, both with undergraduate and graduate degrees. Demographics parallel that of the entire Stanford alumni community, spanning graduation dates as far back as the 1940’s and as recent as 2010’s.

SPIRE members benefit from access to the resources, activities and professionals that make up the vibrant Stanford real estate community.

SPIRE members have elite access to the Stanford real estate community through a variety of avenues: the membership directory, the SPIRE job board, advance access to student resume books for an edge on hiring Stanford students, regional events and more.

Over the seven years of its existence, SPIRE membership and programs have grown exponentially. SPIRE activities include:

§ Serving 2,300 Stanford alumni, faculty and students across the United States § Hosting 20 annual events in six regions § Inducting two individuals annually into the Stanford Real Estate Hall of Fame § Sponsoring the Real Estate and Law (REAL) Symposium on Stanford’s campus each year § Collecting 100 of Stanford’s leaders in the real estate community – known collectively as the

Stanford Real Estate Council – for an annual three-day conference, as well as other activities § Supporting current Stanford students by:

• Hosting an alumni mentor-mentee program• Circulating to SPIRE members the resumes of current Stanford students interested in working

in real estate, place making or the built environment• Partnering with the Stanford student team participating in the NAIOP “Golden Shovel” competition

SPIRE has conducted all its programs with revenues from its membership. But SPIRE is poised to do more. Lots more. And we’re looking for partners to help us do just that.

With this in mind, SPIRE launched its corporate partnership program in the spring of 2017. And we’ve made great success. We are pleased to bring a new Core partner aboard – AEI Consultants. SPIRE continues to thank its founding core sponsor, Allen Matkins. We invite corporate partners to join SPIRE in its efforts.

With more than 2,300 Stanford alumni, faculty and student members, corporate partnership with SPIRE provides an opportunity to gain access to this elite group of Stanford alumni professionals working in real estate. SPIRE welcomes corporate partners who recognize the value of affiliating with SPIRE, its mission and its membership. You will find more information on SPIRE’s Core and Pillar partner levels on the SPIRE website.

2016 Global Cities in an Era of Change Symposium

SPIRE was proud to co-sponsor the 2016 Global Cities in an Era of Change Symposium held at Stanford University from March 30 to April 1.The symposium sponsors included the Counselors of Real Estate (CRE) and the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS). This conference was the largest and most complex conference ever sponsored by SPIRE and was initiated by Buzz McCoy (’58), a 2013 inductee into the Stanford Real Estate Hall of Fame.

The three-day conference focused on challenges presented by the growing shift of populations to urban areas, and how cities, large and small, must effectively plan, adjust and innovate to build living environments that meet expectations of diverse populations. The 200 attendees toured major development projects in the Bay Area before spending a day with speakers and panels including Chip Conley (’82, MBA ’84), SPIRE board of governors member and founder of Joie de Vivre; Sam Zell, chairman of Equity Investments Group; and Colin Shepherd, CEO of investment management in Hines’ Office of Investments.

Stanford students spent months in the run-up to the symposium competing in the Urban Innovation Challenge. These student teams were tasked with developing creative approaches to the challenges of urban living of the future - creating environments where citizens not only successfully co-exist, but thrive. On the last day of the conference, the winning teams were awarded grants, with the top team garnering the first Buzz McCoy Innovation in the Urban Environment Award.

AluMnI networkIng & eDuCAtIon

SeattleSPIRE returned to Seattle with a small group dinner in the spring. GSB classmates Leshya Wig (MBA ’10) and Jahan Moslehi (MBA ’10) shared their unique insights and perspectives of operating real estate firms investing in the Pacific Northwest.

Southern calIfornIaSPIRE began its 2016 regional events at THE BLOC in downtown Los Angeles. Hosted by the executive leadership of the project’s developer, The Ratkovich Company, members learned about the opportunities and challenges encountered in redeveloping the hotel, office, retail and parking components, while still keeping these areas operating during the construction process.

Los Angeles members had the opportunity to tour two more notable projects in 2016. Tishman Speyer’s Playa Vista development in the Brickyard was our event venue in the spring, and Carmel Partner’s new development, Eighth & Grand, was toured in the fall. Both of these tours provided members the opportunity to experience the transformations taking place in and around the Los Angeles market.

regIonAl eventS SPIRE hosted 19 regional alumni events with over 500 members in attendance - a record high.

northern calIfornIaNorthern California members toured 400 Grove and 450 Hayes in the Hayes Valley neighborhood of San Francisco with SREC member Mark MacDonald (’93, MBA ’07) of DM Development. David Lenox, university architect and executive director of campus planning and design, provided members and students a historical view of the campus as well as plans for the future of Stanford’s nearly 1,900-acre campus.

In the fall, members heard from Stanford Entrepreneur in Residence, James Ehrlich, about RegenVillages, a company whose origins dovetail with Stanford research. James and his team are currently working on a pilot development of 25 homes in Almere, Netherlands, with the goal to integrate local energy production, intensive food production methods and “closed-loop” waste-to-resource systems, along with intelligent water and energy management systems to create a neighborhood that powers and feeds itself.

chIcaGoSPIRE members in Chicago experienced two unique events in 2016. Members toured the restored Chicago Athletic Association hotel located on Michigan Avenue with Jasin Alfaro (’98), whose firm AJ Capital Partners is a partner in the redevelopment of the hotel. Later in the year, Gregg Garmisa (’80), SPIRE member and principal and general counsel at Studio Gang, brought members inside Jeanne Gang’s firm, an architecture and urbanism collective. Jeanne Gang is an internationally renowned architect and MacArthur fellow. Members heard about recent projects and had the opportunity to see models and ask questions of Jeanne, Greg and the Studio Gang team.

waShInGton dcThe Washington DC region’s first event in 2016 was a small group dinner with Ryan Frederick (MBA ’05), founder & CEO of Smart Living 360, a real estate development and operating company focused on creating innovative living experiences that enhance well-being. Ryan shared the story behind the concept of Smart Living 360; facts about the first community, The Stories at Congressional Plaza in Rockville, Maryland; and how being a Stanford graduate provided the opportunity for Ryan to create a career out of a personal passion.

In the fall, members gathered in Georgetown for a happy hour to connect with one another about their current areas of focus and industry activity.

new yorkSPIRE’s events in New York City included a tour of the recently renovated New York Historical Society as well as The Beekman Hotel and Residences. Members also toured Hudson Yards, the largest private real estate development in the history of the United States and the largest development in New York City since Rockefeller Center.

A small group dinner with SREC member Mike Lowe (’91, MBA ’97), co-CEO of Lowe Enterprises, and Marcello Porcelli (MBA ’97), chief executive officer at LargaVista Companies, focused on family-operated real estate businesses. Over the course of the evening members heard about their experiences working and running dynamic real estate firms, as well as current development projects and the intersection of hospitality and residential as both firms operate in both parts of the industry.

Rebirth of ASPIRE

SPIRE’s student group on campus – the Association of Students Promoting Innovation in Real Estate (ASPIRE) – relaunched in winter quarter under the apt and energetic leadership of Jason Lopata (’17) after having been dormant for several years. Previously, real estate groups existed within the civil engineering and business programs, but there were few opportunities for students of a diverse array of disciplinary backgrounds to meet

and share perspectives on the industry. ASPIRE seeks to bridge that gap by providing educational programming through on-campus speakers and workshops, experiential learning through off-campus site visits, and professional development through networking events for students and alumni. More broadly, ASPIRE aims to serve as a forum for current Stanford students across all departments and degree programs who have an interest in real estate, land use, and the built environment. Over time, ASPIRE’s leadership hopes that the activity of the organization will encourage greater student interest in the industries related to its mission, and that the interaction of its student members will help to shape a robust network that will be an active part of the alumni community in years to come.

SPIRE Student Team Competes in New York

One of SPIRE’s primary goals is to support Stanford students in exposing themselves to the fields of real estate, place making and the built environment. With SPIRE’s assistance, Stanford sent, for the first time, a student team to compete in the 8th Annual Cornell International Real Estate Case Competition in New York in November. A team of five enterprising undergraduate students pushed themselves to compete in an intensive five-day undertaking, culminating in a full day of presentations.

on CAMpuS – StuDentSSPIRE continues its efforts to expose Stanford students to real estate, place making and the built environment.

The mentor-mentee program continued in its next iteration with 35 pairs of mentors and students meeting regularly over a period of five months. A highlight was a lunch in San Francisco hosted by two alumni mentors for a host of current students.

Students joined SPIRE as guests at the 5th Annual Real Estate and Law (REAL) Symposium, the Global Cities in an Era of Change Symposium, the Stanford Real Estate Hall of Fame banquet on campus, as well as at the Stanford Real Estate Council conference.

Students submitted their resumes to SPIRE which then distributed the resumes to all SPIRE members in both the fall and the spring.

NAIOP/Golden Shovel

SPIRE once again sponsored the Stanford student team competing against Cal in the 27th Annual NAIOP San Francisco’s Real Estate Challenge, also known as the Golden Shovel. The Cardstone Group team clinched the win by proposing the concept of an innovative makerspace remake for Prologis’ 245 South Spruce Street building in South San Francisco. SPIRE members have also been stalwart supporters —

the Stanford coach was Drew Hudacek (MS ’99); Lauren Pressman (’95, MBA ’01) and Lauren Young (MBA ’03) were also highly involved with the entire competition. SREC member Cathy Greenwold (MSM ’99) was one of the judges in 2016.

“I first approached SPIRE as a civil engineering student with a limited understanding of the real estate industry. Little did I know the incredible opportunities that SPIRE would expose me to. Through its amazing network of successful professionals, I was able to spend a summer working in multi-family real estate development in San Francisco, as well as find mentors who are currently guiding me and helping me achieve my career ambitions in real estate.”Arnaud Dusser (MS ’17)

on CAMpuS – unIverSIty relAtIonSUniversity Relations

The Board of Directors Committee on University Relations made great progress in 2016 with regard to connecting with each of the key faculty members teaching real estate–related courses across campus. SPIRE is investigating ways to best support these faculty, whether by funding their courses, facilitating alumni involvement, or other means.

Faculty Grants

SPIRE underwrote Urban Studies 168: Housing & Community Development, the only course at Stanford that focuses specifically on housing as an issue in the United States.

DrIvIng InnovAtIonStudent Research Grant

SPIRE worked to further innovative research taking place on campus by underwriting the research of PhD candidate Daniel Hall (MS ’15, PhD candidate), a student in the School of Engineering’s Sustainable Design and Construction program. Daniel noted that the grant allowed him to expand his research and data gathering to additional geographies. He said, “Thank you SPIRE for your help in advancing quality research in the built environment” by allowing the expansion of his research into alternative contracting environments in complex building and infrastructure projects.

inSPIRE

inSPIRE is an on-campus initiative of students, alumni and faculty with a mission to facilitate real estate innovation in the Stanford ecosystem. After a successful launch event in spring 2015, inSPIRE selected four student teams, which created business plans to innovate in the real estate ecosystem. inSPIRE mentors supported and provided resources to fuel the further development of the teams’ business ideas. Resources included alumni expertise, connections for office space and industry data, facilitating meetings with angel investors and industry, and more. Then again in spring 2016, inSPIRE collected another group of students who brainstormed solutions to challenges faced in real estate, place making and the built environment. These groups formed into teams, each of which formulated an early prototype of a business that could alleviate whichever challenge they’d chosen. SPIRE brought alumni representatives to the meetings to help the students reflect upon, and iterate upon, their fledging ideas.

Buzz McCoy Innovation in the Urban Environment Award

Buzz McCoy (’58), Stanford Real Estate Hall of Fame inductee, supported further innovation on campus through his support of the Human Cities Urban Innovation Challenge. The challenge was designed to tap into Stanford students’ creative potential to address critical social challenges.

Student teams submitted proposals, which were then judged by a panel of esteemed real estate professionals and alumni. Stanford students have proven to be great engineers, entrepreneurs, and technologists; when they engage with the world, they can also strive to be kind neighbors, active citizens, and thoughtful designers. By focusing innovation on urban-centered social, infrastructure, and policy questions, the Stanford students were supporting the ongoing global effort to imagine and remake cities into more human-friendly places to live, work, play — and to celebrate our common urban future.

“We are grateful for any support, and for the opportunity to collaborate with SPIRE. Please express my gratitude to the board members for their enthusiasm... We really appreciate SPIRE’s support and collaboration in helping the Urban Studies Program to offer this course.”

Michael B. Kahan, Ph.D.Associate Director and Senior LecturerProgram on Urban Studies

In its sixth year, the SREC once again delivered on its objective to provide a platform for unparalleled networking, interaction and thought leadership for alumni at the highest level of the real estate industry.

CEOs, owners, founders and managing directors of leading global real estate organizations bring a level of unparalleled vision and knowledge to SPIRE. That’s why, in 2011, SPIRE formed the Stanford Real Estate Council (SREC), a unique forum offering innovative and thought-provoking discourse for 100 Stanford alumni leaders operating in the highest echelons of the real estate industry. Collectively, SREC members have developed, own or manage nearly $1 trillion in assets. By offering best-in-class real estate programs, networking events, and professional development, the SREC engages industry luminaries and pioneers within the Stanford real estate alumni and faculty communities.
