Casden Endowment
The initial funding for the Casden Real Estate Economics Forecast was provided by a generous endowment from Alan Casden, a major developer of multi-family housing in Southern California. In making his gift, Casden envisioned the creation of a unique forecast of real estate trends in the Southern California region that would inform both public and private sector leaders in the areas of real estate and urban planning.
