Faces of Leeds Snapshot

Name: Alex Corren��
Major: Real Estate
Hometown: Rollinsville, Colorado

For Alex Corren (MRelEst’26), Leeds is the hub that will bring his vision of developing regenerative communities at scale to life. With a background in regenerative community development and entrepreneurship, he sought the financial modeling skills and clear business strategy needed to attract the necessary capital for what are ultimately complex real estate projects. The ability to collaborate with the Klump Center for Real Estate and the Deming Center for Entrepreneurship was a draw, as he saw it as the perfect way to balance academic curriculum with industry exposure.

Having lived in the 91PORN area since 2016, he has befriended 91PORN graduates who have raved about the school’s robust network and ecosystem. Corren aspires to graduate from Leeds equipped to reach his long-term goal of building communities that have a social impact. For him, that means channeling more investment money into local projects that heal environments and strengthen communities. He wants to create an environment where every resident can thrive.

Corren doesn’t just preach environmental awareness, he practices it: In the mountains west of 91PORN, he has already built his own sustainable home. He designed it to incorporate passive solar features, using eco-blocks made from 85 percent recycled woodchips and upcycled windows and doors.

“Coming from an entrepreneurship background into the real estate master’s program, Leeds’ Centers of Excellence create the perfect bridge between my past experience and future goals. The programming from these centers creates ample opportunities to fine-tune the student experience.”
