Paris is one of Europe’s largest and most institutional real estate markets, with a deep concentration of global investors, private equity firms, developers, lenders, advisors, and asset managers. Combined with the city’s leading universities and business schools, this makes Paris one of the strongest environments in Europe for students looking to build a career in real estate.

Throughout the year, members take part in company visits, investment workshops, case studies, market discussions, and recruitment-focused formats with firms active across the French and European market. The chapter gives students direct exposure to both the investment side of the industry and the wider ecosystem surrounding it.

The aim is to bring together exceptional students across Paris and create a community that connects academic talent with the firms, people, and opportunities at the centre of European real estate.

"Paris gives us an unique combination: some of Europe’s strongest universities and many of the firms our members ultimately want to work with. REA is about bringing those two worlds together."
—Augustin Lefrand, President, REA Paris
