The Center for Real Estate and Urban Economic Studies was established in 1965 by the Connecticut General Assembly for the purpose of providing professional and practical assessment of real estate issues in Connecticut, the region, and the nation. Through education, research, and outreach efforts, current issues and future concerns in real estate are identified and analyzed. The Center serves as a resource to government and business and, at the same time, trains highly skilled individuals for all segments of the industry work force. The Center for Real Estate and Urban Economic Studies is dedicated to continuing its role as the leader in real estate education, research, and service.
