Thoughts? Has anyone been through this program? Does anyone know someone who has or know anything about it?

I don't know about the programme but Tishman is a superb firm to work for in terms of calibre of people and types of projects.
Would be interesting to hear other people's thoughts.

I have no shame in asking about comp. How is it structured, what are some rough numbers at the various levels of seniority, etc?

I had an "informational
I had an "informational interview" regarding this program, set up via a close family relationship. They told me the bottom line was that they basically take a handful of people solely from the top 3 business schools in the US (and I believe London BS) and that's it. So yeah, competitive and would be a great start to a career. Don't listen to the naysayers regarding Tishan Speyer's rep being tarnished by the Stuy Town debacle, it is greatly overstated here. A lot of sophisticated investors got burned in the market collapse. TS put up so little of the equity in that deal that they came out relatively unscathed.
Great firm, great program,
Great firm, great program, great reputation, great expereince... they don't only take people from top 3 business schools though, they take people from northwestern and other m7 places on the regular (I've known a few)... The mba thing doesn't really matter though - it's still very selective. One draw back is I've heard that the pay is relatively low and stays that way for a long time (i.e. until you get large carried interest checks as an MD). Granted you'll still get paid more than you would at 90% of jobs, but less than you would at most GPs/ fund managers. Anyone else heard that about Tishman?
Yeah, real estate
Yeah, real estate owners/operators definitely do not pay nearly what you'd make at a fund unless you are very senior. A lot of these are family run businesses that got big did so by being frugal and making good deals, and that extends to how they pay their talent! I unfortunately have experienced this first hand,
And you're right, M7 sounds about right.
