EPFIRE - Executive program in finanza immobiliare e real estate
Programma Intensivo di Real Estate Management

Managing real estate and real estate finance for sustainable growth
The real estate system has shifted paradigm due to several "evolutionary" factors - technological impact, sustainability, economic environment, changing demand - offering the opportunity for investments that serve as hedges against capital market volatility and as instrumental assets for achieving strategic business objectives.
Being an evolved manager in real estate means developing adaptive skills to deal effectively with uncertainty scenarios in the real estate sector through a holistic view of the value chain: from place making value, demand and consumer behavior analysis, town planning and investment evaluation to finance, risk management and asset management strategies in urban regeneration projects and portfolio management.
EPFIRE provides a comprehensive overview of economic-financial instruments and key principles for investment in commercial real estate, strengthening strategic decision-making skills. Starting with the tools of real estate market analysis, the program addresses fundamental economic concepts such as returns, risk and uncertainty, opportunity costs, discounted cash flows (DCF), affordability criteria (NPV, APV, IRR), scenario analysis, flexibility enhancement, and leverage. Strategic investment management from the perspective of both real estate portfolios and capital assets, performance analysis, benchmarking, and the planning and control process round out the training.

Who should apply
The program is aimed at professionals who operate directly or indirectly in the real estate industry and need to supplement their education with economic-financial and executive tools and skills in the real estate sector.
EPFIRE intends to involve all players in the real estate supply chain, such as: developers, architects, engineers, builders, lenders, property managers, entrepreneurs, lawyers, consultants, investors, and others active in real estate development, investment, urban regeneration, and the regulatory process within the private, public, and nongovernmental organizations.
