The company´s focus on transparency, cutting-edge content, innovation, and comprehensive insights has been instrumental in transforming the industry. A prime offering from the company is SiiLA ACADEMY – a program tailored for professionals aiming to elevate their expertise within the local real estate market.
"This initiative took root during the pandemic, when we started offering our clients interactive Zoom sessions to introduce key market concepts. The response was overwhelmingly positive, leading us to develop a more robust curriculum encompassing a wide array of topics directly impacting industry professionals. These encompass negotiation strategies, occupancy models, data analytics, square footage valuation, capital markets, REITs, and more. Today, it stands as the most comprehensive program, delivering a panoramic view of our market for those hungry for knowledge," shared SiiLA's CEO, Giancarlo Nicastro.
Presently in its fifth edition, the course is gearing up for the September sessions, with registrations set to open next week. Esteemed executives from the industry are already confirmed as guest lecturers. For instance, Ricardo Betancourt, CEO of Colliers, will be lending his insights to the Negotiations and Contracts for Logistic Properties module. Additionally, Leandro Rovai, Global Real Estate Manager at PepsiCo, and Cláudio Hermolin, a distinguished figure in the real estate sector, are also poised to contribute.
Humberto Pimentel, a seasoned professional in the Real Estate domain at Banco Modal, participated in the 2022 class and vouched for the program's excellence. "The course boasts an exceptional dynamic, top-notch content, and a roster of high-quality guest speakers. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking to delve deeper into the intricacies of the logistics market."
