NAIOP Massachusetts, The Commercial Real Estate Development Association

NAIOP Massachusetts, now known as CREDA Massachusetts, is the state chapter of the Commercial Real Estate Development Association. It represents companies involved in developing, owning, managing and financing commercial properties, bringing together developers, owners, investors and consultants. Its more than 1,700 members work on office, lab, industrial, mixed-use, retail, institutional and multifamily projects across the Commonwealth, and it is the largest chapter in the international association.

The chapter advocates for the industry on legislation and regulation, from local rules to cases before the Supreme Judicial Court, and keeps members informed on policy and market trends. Professional education courses cover topics such as permitting and code compliance for multifamily housing and office-to-residential conversions. A Developing Leaders program, committees, forums and networking events serve members at different career stages, and the chapter promotes a diverse, equitable and inclusive culture in commercial real estate.
