NAIOP Becomes the Commercial Real Estate Development Association

NAIOP, the association for commercial real estate developers, owners, investors and related professionals, announced that it is now called the Commercial Real Estate Development Association (CREDA), a new name that builds on the association’s longstanding industry leadership while positioning it for the future.

The name more clearly communicates the breadth of its members’ work and the full scope of commercial real estate development they represent. CREDA members work on a wide range of property types that support businesses, communities and critical infrastructure, including multifamily housing, retail destinations, logistics and fulfillment facilities, office buildings, mixed-use developments and data centers.

The Commercial Real Estate Development Association represents more than 21,000 members through 55 chapters across North America. “Commercial real estate development has never been more important to the future of our communities and economy,” said Marc Selvitelli, CAE, president and CEO of CREDA. “This new name more accurately reflects who our members are, what they do, and the value they bring to communities across North America.”
