Akerman Partner Vivien Krieger will guest lecture at the NYU Shack Institute of Real Estate's Introduction to Commercial Real Estate course. Vivien will explore the real estate lifecycle through an integrated lens—connecting asset and finance markets with space, design, and use considerations—while also addressing the legal, regulatory, social impact, and public development forces that shape New York City’s built environment.

Through insights informed by her hands-on work with owners, developers, investors, architects, engineers, and public officials, Vivien will offer students a practical and grounded perspective on the complexities of the industry. The lecture will conclude with a 10-minute question-and-answer session, offering students the opportunity to engage directly on the challenges and opportunities facing the next generation of real estate professionals.
