“What’s in Store for Real Estate in 2026?” with Alan Feldman (WG ’90) from Wharton’s Zell Lurie Real Estate Center

Alan has spent the last 10 years educating Wharton’s next generation of real estate leaders and most recently served as Chairman and CEO of Resource REIT. There he guided the company’s multifamily strategy and oversaw a vast real estate and securities portfolio—culminating in its landmark sale to Blackstone in 2022.
