A couple weeks ago, four of our brothers: Nick Langue, Anthony Sanchez, Peter Gardner and, Alexander Wagner, won the 2026 Utah Real Estate Challenge, beating out graduate students from across the state and taking home the $20,000 grand prize.
The Utah Real Estate Challenge is a statewide development competition where teams pitch real estate projects to industry judges, and their winning proposal, East Village Commons, showcased a 202-unit workforce housing development in the University of Utah Research Park. Their innovative model replaces traditional subsidies with a university-funded housing stipend, making market-rate apartments affordable for staff while saving the university an estimated $12.2 million over 10 years by reducing turnover. The development also features on-site daycare and a café to support working families. This achievement exemplifies Beta Theta Pi’s commitment to cultivating the intellect and developing principled leaders who make an impact in their fields.
