Altus Group Celebrates Winners of the 2025 ARGUS University Challenge
June 09 2025 - 9:00AM
Altus Group Limited (ʺAltus Group”) (TSX: AIF), a leading provider
of commercial real estate (“CRE”) intelligence, today announced the
winners of its 16th annual ARGUS University Challenge – a milestone
that reflects both the longevity of the program and Altus Group’s
continued leadership in the CRE sector during its 20th year as a
public company.
The ARGUS University Challenge is an annual
global competition organized by Altus Group to immerse university
students in the complexities of CRE investment analysis. Students
apply ARGUS software to tackle complex CRE investment cases, where
they model financial projections, assess risk, and develop
investment strategies for hypothetical CRE portfolios. Winners
qualify for a scholarship and gain valuable industry exposure,
along with the opportunity to showcase their skills to potential
employers.
The 2025 winners were selected from more than
124 students representing 24 universities globally. The teams
demonstrated their ability to identify and present compelling
investment opportunities using industry-leading ARGUS Enterprise,
now part of ARGUS Intelligence – which brings together data and
advanced analytics for more powerful decision-making.
Each team was challenged to analyze a
hypothetical real estate scenario and present a comprehensive
investment case. Submissions were evaluated by a panel of industry
experts on how effectively students applied ARGUS’ valuation
modelling, discounted cash flow analysis, and performance
forecasting capabilities – tools that shaped CRE performance
analysis for over 30 years and are taught at more than 200 academic
institutions worldwide.
“We’re proud to provide students with the
opportunity to develop the real-world skills they’ll need as they
enter the industry,” said Rich Sarkis, President of ARGUS Software
and Data at Altus Group. “This year’s participants demonstrated how
quality data and analytics are critical to effective investment
decision-making. Our new ARGUS Intelligence platform was built with
their generation in mind – designed for a new era of data-savvy
professionals who demand deeper insights, faster workflows, and
smarter decisions.”
