Letter from the Chair

The Young Leaders Group is about to embark on its third year. The past two years have been a tremendous success as we have established a working platform of social and professional development events ranging from Partnership Forums and case studies to quarterly happy hours. We have also grown to become the largest YLG program in the ULI District Council Program.

After receiving feedback from YLG members, the YLG Executive Committee has outlined several goals for the 2005-2006 year. Many people have expressed that they lack full comprehension of ULI's mission, and the range of programs that the organization offers. YLG hopes to disseminate better information about this organization, and in turn, offer you better opportunities to become more involved. YLG will continue to provide Partnership Forum and case study programs and is also embarking on plans to give back to the community. Currently, YLG is organizing support for Habitat for Humanity. Finally, our continuing goal remains keeping you all involved. YLG has attracted members from all areas of the real estate industry, including planning and development, finance, law, and non-profit, and networking with this range of professionals provides a greater perspective of the real estate industry that individual members might otherwise lack. YLG hopes to offer that ongoing broad perspective to all its members who choose to participate.

With that, we're reprinting the YLG mission statement as a reminder of YLG's purpose:

"The mission of ULI Los Angeles Young Leaders Group is to increase the involvement and influence of young real estate professionals in ULI by connecting tomorrow's real estate leaders with each other and with the leaders of today through educational and professional programs, events, and networking opportunities which ULI has to offer."

Thanks everyone for your involvement and support over the past year. Here's to a successful 2005-2006!

The Figueroa Corridor - Case Study of a District's Reemergence
The Figueroa Corridor, which is an area at the forefront of urban revitalization, is building upon greater Downtown's architectural and cultural history. Using the University of Southern California as its anchor, both public and private investment are revitalizing the area with the development of upscale multifamily housing, cultural centers, and historic preservation projects. This case study will examine the intersection of the old with the new, and the driving forces behind the reemergence of one of downtown LA's hidden treasures.
