Luminaries Series

The Luminaries Series is a program of the Urban Land Institute Los Angeles Chapter and sponsored by the law firm of Allen Matkins. The Luminaries Series provides an exclusive opportunity to sit down with top Los Angeles real estate icons in an informal and intimate setting in order to gather insight and perspective regarding leadership, lessons learned, and what ULI means to them.
