The Center invests in real estate and built environment research being conducted by UVA faculty through our competitive seed grant program, which aims to support research that produces or provides the foundation for high-quality journal manuscripts, books, federal (or foundation) grant proposals, or doctoral dissertations. Proposals must focus on real estate or be directly related to the built environment, and may involve research that is underway, but not substantially completed, at the time of application. The program is open to individual researchers as well as to teams. A call for proposals will be posted here each semester, pending funding availability.
Through the Household Finance Project, a joint effort between faculty at the McIntire School of Commerce and the Darden School of Business, the Center is acquiring the complex data needed to answer critical decisions that span disciplines.
The Center seeks to work with other research funding agencies across UVA and beyond.
To examine the causes of and potential solutions to climate change, UVA’s Center for Real Estate and the Built Environment explored the critical topic with a special webinar on April 28, 2022, featuring a timely conversation with keynote speaker Owen Thomas, CEO of Boston Properties.
