Using Real Estate as a Vehicle to Meet University Financial and Strategic Goals

After several years of dealing with the pandemic and economic volatility, many universities are looking for opportunities to strengthen balance sheets and raise capital for ambitious campus development planning. In this webinar, we will discuss creative ways clients are funding capital projects to support strategic plans for sustainable buildings, clean energy, and affordable housing for students and faculty.

The session will provide information on how universities can utilize strategic partnerships to leverage their existing real estate portfolios to improve balance sheet liquidity and solve capital restraints holding back campus development goals. Presenters will provide examples of partnerships that TIAA and Nuveen have cultivated to support campus strategic plans.

After participating in this session, attendees will be able to:

1. Understand the value of existing real estate and how capitalizing these assets could benefit the university’s operations and strategic and sustainable growth plans
2. Understand the value of a combined real estate development and capital partner to provide thought partnership and holistic solutions
3. Increase awareness of capital availability and structures from capital partners such as TIAA’s real estate arm, Nuveen Real Estate

Presenters:

Michael Hunter, managing director and real estate sector head, Nuveen
Andrew Pyke, senior director, real estate investments, Nuveen
