The Challenge
Over the course of the semester, students will be tasked with advising our Industry Partner, SYD & Partners, on a strategy to develop a 40-acre wooded property in New York’s Hudson Valley into a nature-focused retreat destination. The key objectives are to maximize the potential of the property’s natural setting, to capitalize on growing demand from New York City for rustic getaways, and to differentiate the project from competitors, in terms of operational model, design and amenities.
