The ULI South Carolina Real Estate Diversity Initiative (REDI) helps emerging developers expand their skills and knowledge needed to create a successful real estate development.

Participants learn what it takes to put together a successful development through a combination of curriculum and case study work. Throughout the course, teams produce a development plan, pro-forma, and marketing plan for a specific site. Participants engage in both large group and small group mentoring sessions.

The 2024 REDI program will kick off in Greenville, SC on January 16, 2024, meeting weekly for 3 hours for 12 weeks through April 2, 2024, with additional time outside of class for textbook readings and group project work. Meet the 2023 inaugural cohort. Click here to read what graduates of the program have to say about their experience.
