The Real Estate Roundtable is made up of senior principals from America's top public and privately owned real estate entities, across every segment of the commercial real estate industry, who are committed to advocating sound, asset-related policies that affect the growth and prosperity of our industry and our nation. Members of The Real Estate Roundtable work closely with Washington lawmakers and regulators to produce meaningful results on key national issues in the tax, capital and credit, environmental and energy, and homeland security policy arenas that affect the industry. For the commercial real estate industry to be truly effective in Washington, cross-organizational consensus and coordination among various national real estate trade associations around shared policy initiatives and priorities is vital. Through The Real Estate Roundtable, the industry can present a unified, effective front on those issues where there is broad agreement, without affecting any individual trade association's ability to pursue its own policy agenda. Membership is by invitation only. For consideration, call The Real Estate Roundtable staff in Washington, DC at 202-639-8400 or send an e-mail to info@rer.org. – back to top – Membership of The Real Estate Roundtable The Real Estate Roundtable consists of those chairmen, chief executive officers, presidents and managing directors (or their functional equivalent) who head significant national entities and who play a leadership role within the overall income-producing real estate industry. These executives represent a broad cross-section of income-producing real estate across the U.S.— public and privately held company owners, developers, managers, commercial bankers, investment bankers, insurance company investors and opportunity funds. The Roundtable also includes the elected heads of the top real estate trade associations. By including these elected association leaders and pursuing a common agenda with these groups, the Roundtable helps ensure a more cohesive industry voice is heard by government officials and the public about the real estate industry and its important role in the global economy. Collectively, Roundtable members hold portfolios containing over 5 billion square feet of office, retail and industrial properties valued at more than $1 trillion; over 1.5 milion apartment units; and in excess of 1.3 million hotel rooms. Participating trade associations represent more than 1,5 million people involved in virtually every aspect of the real estate business.
