[Excerpt] The seventh volume of the Cornell Real Estate Review (CRER) continues its tradition of providing faculty, real estate industry practitioners, and graduate students a conduit to share practice and applied research from all fields related to the profession. Debuting this issue is a section featuring a real estate case study, a new entrant to the CRER line-up, that is intended to be a regular part of the publication moving forward. The case, GOLDEN HILLS, was a collaborative effort between Brad Olson, senior lecturer in the Cornell Program in Real Estate, and Lars Kollmann (MPS/RE ’09) that draws on Professor Olson’s 30 years of experience in residential real estate development and draws on a recent Southern California project.
