The University of Miami and its LLM in Real Estate Development

Howard Shapiro served as a director and the senior vice president of Pacific International Equities, Inc., for over 25 years. During his tenure, the firm was Miami Beach’s largest luxury condominium high-rise developer. His responsibilities included overseeing Pacific’s acquisitions, planning, design, development and marketing of the company’s condominium projects, comprising approximately 4,500 units whose market value exceeded $750,000,000.

Some of these projects included mixed-use components among them – notably Sunset Harbour Marina, a 125-slip, state-of-the-art, full-service marina in Miami Beach.

Because of his experience, expertise and significant contribution to the built environment, he was asked in 1997 by the University of Miami School of Law to assist its LLM Program in Real Property Development. He is a member of the program’s Adjunct Faculty as its Developer in Residence.

Mary Wolff is a student in the program. She is from St.Louis. Her great-grandmother started a small real estate investment company in St. Louis, beginning with her first purchase of a small duplex in the downtown district. Mary will give us the student’s perspective on the program.

We discuss the University of Miami’s LLM in Real Estate Development and its impact on the Miami development community.

Fried On Business: UF Real Estate Update
Episode 758 | 03.06.24 

UF Real Estate Update

Jim attended the Annual UF Trends and Strategies Conference last week

He will tell you what he learned at the conference and he will speak with one of the Program's students:

Emme Benoit about why she choose the UF MSRE program and what she is learning.

*************************************

About Our Guests:

Emme Gisele-Louise Benoit 

Emme graduated from the University of Tennessee with a degree in Supply Chain Management, but deep down, always knew real estate was the path she was meant to take. So, she followed her heart and pursued that passion. Now, she is a Master of Science in Real Estate (MSRE) student at the University of Florida, a journey that was largely inspired by her father's successful career as a commercial real estate developer.
 Emme’s fascination with real estate isn't just about the industry itself; it's about the impact it has on communities and landscapes. She loves seeing how built spaces come to life, transforming areas and changing the skyline. It's about bringing a vision to reality and witnessing the profound changes that follow. This passion drives her every day and fuels her dedication to the field.
      Currently, she serve as the Co-President of the UF Women's Real Estate Society and as an MSRE ambassador. These roles have given her the incredible opportunity to lead, inspire, and connect with like-minded individuals who are as passionate about real estate as she is. Through these positions, she aims to empower women in the industry, foster a supportive community, and advocate for sustainable and innovative practices in real estate. 
      Emme’s journey in real estate is a testament to following one's passion and making a tangible impact on the world. She is committed to learning, growing, and contributing to the industry in meaningful ways, and she is excited to see where this path will take her.
