Recently, Regency hosted Urban Land Institute’s Real Estate Graduate Study Mentorship Program with a tour at The Village at Riverstone shopping center in Houston, TX.

In partnership with Johnson Development Corp and led by Regency’s Abe Pacetti, this tour was part of a month-long series of weekly learning experiences covering a variety of real estate topics in and around Houston. From walking around the shopping center’s placemaking areas to learning about how master planned communities utilize experiential retail to connect with consumers, the tour was predominantly attended by students from various universities in the Houston area.
