He’s at it again! Rob Namy, Weston’s Senior Vice President, was asked to be an advisor to the teams representing Cleveland State University’s College of Urban Affairs in the Urban Land Institutes (ULI) 2012 Gerald D. Hines Urban Design Competition. The teams which represent colleges from around the Country have two weeks to devise a comprehensive design and development program for a real, large-scale site full of challenges and opportunities. Submissions from the teams include drawings, site plans, tables, and market-feasible financial data. This year’s site is a 16.3 acre parcel of land located in downtown Houston, Texas that is currently owned by the United States Postal Service and houses a post office distribution facility and office building that have been deemed obsolete to USPS operations. Rob is on hand to coach the teams all the way through to the end.
The ULI/Gerald D. Hines Student Urban Competition is part of ULI’s ongoing effort to raise interest among young people in creating better communities, improving development patterns, and increasing awareness of the need for multidisciplinary solutions to development and design challenges. The winning team will receive $50,000.00 and the finalist teams $10,000.00 each.

Chris Grobelny, Vice-President of Weston Inc., and Rob Namy, Regional Vice President of Acquisitions for Weston, recently shared their knowledge of the financial aspects of commercial real estate with the students of Maxine Goodman Levin College of Urban Affairs. Chris and Rob were invited to speak by Professor Robert Simons (known as Dr. Roby), a Professor and former director of the Master of Urban Planning, and current Faculty Advisor for the Certificate Program in Real Estate Development and Finance. Chris and Rob spoke about the history of Weston and its many divisions, as well as the company’s plans to for the future. The lecture focused largely on cash flow and valuations of industrial real estate. In particular, the usage of capitalization rates and the direct effects of net operating income and value were on the agenda for the class. A case study on Weston’s valuation of Wilson Business Park was presented using the income approach, which provided useful information to the students on how to result in the most successful financial outcome.
Weston’s affiliation with The Maxine Goodman Levin College of Urban Affairs was fostered by the efforts of Rob Namy, a former graduate of the program. Rob has worked with Dr. Roby on judging case studies of students who have challenges in specific areas of the material. Both Namy and Grobelny hope to return to the school as guest lecturers in the future. As Grobelny put it, “To those of us who have been through an MBA program in Finance, we know the demands it puts on your time. I have the utmost respect for the students undertaking this program, and it was a real pleasure for Rob and I to share our experiences, as well as any knowledge we could impart.”
