Global Real Estate Council: Year in Review

The mission of the Global Real Estate Council is to support C.A.R. members who do business with global markets (inbound and outbound transactions and/or consultancy) through education and networking activities, information sharing and involvement with select global real estate organizations. The forum also fosters strong relations with local organizations representing diverse ethnic and cultural communities in Chicagoland. We’ve had a great year – here’s what we’ve been up to lately.

First Annual Neighborhoods and Diversity Bus Tour

In August, we debuted a new event: the Neighborhoods and Diversity Bus Tour. C.A.R. members had a fun evening as they explored Chicago’s diverse neighborhoods, including Bronzeville, Bridgeport, Chinatown, Pilsen, UIC/Little Italy and Greektown. Visit our Facebook page for more photos!
