Each year NAIOP Minnesota (National Association of Office and Industrial Properties) invites student teams from regional real estate schools to compete in a development challenge. This year’s site is an old KMART in Minneapolis on Lake Street and Nicollet. Usually students visit the site in February and present their proposal to team of judges in April. The top three teams are invited to present to a larger NAIOP audience. This year everything is virtual. See details about the event and KMART site here:
