A group of students from the University of Miami's Master of Real Estate Development + Urbanism, or MRED+U, program made the cross-country trek to attend the ULI Fall Meeting in Los Angeles.

"Great to travel to the land of the movies!" master's candidate Miguel Perez said in a LinkedIn post. "Had an amazing time at the 2023 ULI Fall Meeting in Los Angeles, sharing insights on real estate and market trends with my University of Miami MRED+U Program cohort. Exciting times ahead!"

Also attending were, pictured left to right, fellow MRED+U students Sebastian Aviles, Tyler James, Daniel Rodriguez, Justin Terellia and Antonio Fraga.

As for those exciting times ahead, Perez said he plans to test several potential positions in commercial real estate.

"I’m thinking about a role as a developer associate. Trying different things," he said in a LinkedIn message. "Retail, hospitality, or mixed-use development is interesting. Definitely a developer who is more of a generalist and blends the uses."

For now, he's looking north to the Peach State, where the movie and film industry has taken off during the past decade-plus. "Georgia is very much involved in the movie industry and there are developers building production facility studios. So that’s another interest in industrial," he said.
