University Real Estate Development

Advancing ASU’s comprehensive real estate strategy

The University Real Estate Office Development (URED) is committed to acquiring and managing the real property assets necessary to deliver an exceptional physical environment to all university customers and to develop and cultivate a financially attractive real estate portfolio for ASU.

URED's roles and responsibilities include: 

• Asset management and strategic planning for all campuses, which includes the Downtown Phoenix, Polytechnic, Tempe and West Valley campuses
• Planning and advancement of the university's Innovation Zones by aligning real estate initiatives with the university's educational mission
• Establishing and maintaining private and public partnerships across the campus and Innovation Zones
• Management and negotiation of all contracts related to the acquisition or disposition of university real estate
• Negotiation of all leases and use agreements for space where ASU is either a landlord or a tenant
• Supervision and property management oversight of the public private property position and off campus land assets
• Coordinating of conceptual and site feasibility studies and appraisals

• Market studies, infrastructure analysis, historic preservation and neighborhood services

   

URED assists with the growth and management of all the university campuses, often serving as the liaison between the university and local municipalities and/or private sector organizations. Our office assists with property acquisitions/dispositions, property entitlements, and infrastructure improvements. We coordinate property valuation efforts and implement any of the university’s goals that involve strategic partnerships to become a reality.

URED identifies and acquires off-campus leased space to satisfy university needs. URED works directly with real estate brokers and building owners to negotiate lease and contract terms. URED acts as the landlord for university owned properties leased to external entities.  Please contact URED if you are a university entity and have questions about or a potential need for off campus leased space. If you are a private sector property owner and have available space that may be of interest to the university, you may also contact our office.

URED also manages real property owned by the university and leased to the private sector. If you have a desire to lease space from the university at one of our campuses, please contact URED for more information.
