The Department of Real Estate traces its origin to 1969 when degree courses in both building and estate management were first offered in the then Department of Building and Estate Management. This was subsequently changed to the School of Building and Real Estate. In June 2000 the Faculty changed its name to the School of Design & Environment. As a result of this change Building and Real Estate were established as separate departments.

The Department of Real Estate aspires to make significant contribution to the body of knowledge concerning the value and management of the built environment at national, regional and international levels.

The Bachelor of Science (Real estate) degree programme at NUS trains real estate professionals to create and manage wealth in the context of the built environment. Recognising that Real Estate is Space and Money over Time, this course is unique in providing an explicit link and interface between the spatial features of Real Estate and its financial attributes. Graduates from the Department of Real Estate play key roles in the development of the built environment as well as in the advancement of the quality of urban living through the transformation and management of real estate resources.
