Shaping the Future of Real Estate: 2025 NAIOP Western Canada Real Estate Challenge

Fiera Real Estate is proud to continue its commitment to fostering the next generation of real estate leaders as a sponsor for the UBC Sauder School of Business team at the 2025 NAIOP Western Canada Real Estate Challenge. We are thrilled to announce that the team won the competition!

This year marked an exciting milestone, as the competition is being hosted in Vancouver for the first time since welcoming teams from the University of Alberta, the University of Calgary, and the University of Manitoba.

The NAIOP Western Canada Real Estate Challenge is a premier case competition that challenges students to develop a comprehensive real estate proposal for a high-profile site. It provides a unique opportunity for students to apply their skills in market analysis, urban planning, and financial modeling while receiving valuable insights from industry professionals.

This year’s challenge focused on a 6.2-acre development site in False Creek Flats, a high-priority area for Vancouver’s innovation economy. Competing teams were tasked with developing a comprehensive proposal for the site, balancing economic viability with urban sustainability.

As sponsor and mentor, Fiera Real Estate has provided ongoing guidance and insights to the UBC Sauder team, helping them navigate the complexities of real estate development. We are thrilled to see their hard work pay off with a well-deserved victory!

Congratulations to the UBC Sauder team for their outstanding performance, and we look forward to continuing our support in future challenges!
