Mission

The Real Estate Roundtable is comprised of senior principals from America's top public and privately owned real estate entities that span every segment of the commercial real estate industry.  These leaders of the nation's top public and privately-held real estate ownership, development, lending and management firms join with the leaders of 16 national real estate trade associations to jointly address key national policy issues relating to real estate and the overall economy.  

The Roundtable works with Washington lawmakers and regulators to produce meaningful results in the tax, capital and credit, environmental and energy, and homeland security policy areas.  By identifying, analyzing and coordinating policy positions, The Real Estate Roundtable's business and trade association leaders seek to ensure a cohesive industry voice is heard by government officials and the public about real estate and its important role in the global economy. Photo: Roundtable Chairman Christopher J.
