Real-estate Group Changes Name, Rebrands

A long-running real-estate association has renamed and rebranded itself to better align with its member groups and advocacy goals.

On July 1, NAIOP announced that its new name is the Commercial Real Estate Development Association (CREDA). The last time the association changed its name was in 2009, when it shifted from the National Association of Industrial and Office Properties to the NAIOP acronym alone. 

"We kept the acronym, which was great for the legacy side of things, but there were folks in commercial real estate who viewed us as strictly the I and the O, industrial and office," said CREDA CEO and President Marc Selvitelli, CAE. "Our members have evolved into so much more beyond that."
