Our Premise

Real estate is not just a sector.

It is a financial asset class — and ESADE students should engage with it at that level.

EREA operates at the intersection of investment, capital markets, ESG, proptech, and urban strategy. Our members engage directly with senior partners, fund managers, and developers through alumni-exclusive events before graduating.

ESADE's international profile and the depth of its Alumni Real Estate Club give EREA a reach and credibility that is difficult to replicate at any other institution in Spain.

We co-organise the annual Capital Markets Seminar with the ESADE Alumni Real Estate Club and the Urban Land Institute, and participate in The District, Spain's leading proptech and real estate investment congress.
