On January 29th and 30th of 2022, Real Estate Ryerson held its annual, cross-disciplinary case competition, called Expand Your Empire (EYE). This international event is one of the largest real estate competitions in North America. This year, the EYE competition challenged teams of undergraduate students to propose a redevelopment project on a mixed-use parcel of land in the Greater Toronto Area with a focus on sustainability.
We would like to send out a huge congratulations to competition winners: Nathan Lee, Samantha Kerry, Matthew Van Bakel, and Kyson Vi! The group successfully presented a detailed redevelopment proposal which focused on transit-orientation and sustainability. The team competed against top undergraduate teams and was evaluated by industry professionals such as the CEO of Cushman and Wakefield, the board of directors at CreateTO, and several other major institutions in the field. Through hard work and dedication, the team was able to bring home the First Place Grand Prize along with a ‘Most Feasible Design’ Award for a total cash prize of $11,500!
