The Connecticut CCIM Chapter to hold CI 102 on April 18-21, 2022 at Goodwin University in East Hartford, CT taught by chapter member Stan Gniazdowski, CRE, CCIM. CI 102 is the second core course in the four course designation series; equally suited for those seeking the CCIM designation, as well as any CRE professional looking to hone their site selection skills. Note: this course has been substantially updated this year, with changes implemented by CCIM Tech Committee at the Institute in Chicago. 

One of CCIM’s most innovative core courses, CI 102 shows you how to deploy “big data” and the most advanced digital tools to assess critical issues like market demand, location facility, and supply-chain strategy. CI 102 students have learned BAO mapping and data analytics to help their clients select store locations; others used Tapestry Segmentation to determine demand for apartment properties. In CI 102 you’ll work with four case studies covering each of the major property types: office, industrial, multifamily, and retail.

After completing this course, you will be able to:

• apply Market and Competitive Analysis, Political and Legal Analysis, Location and Site Analysis, and Financial Analysis to make fundamental investment decisions;
• perform state-of-the-art geospatial analyses; and
• forecast future demand and opportunities for investment.
