NAIOP Research Foundation

Our primary research agenda is focused on building a knowledge base that will provide information for industrial, office, retail and mixed-use real estate developers. Of particular interest are green/sustainable development and mixed-use development, because these are emerging areas. Research can focus on specific real estate product types or on topics related to the “health” of real estate companies and the industry. The Research Foundation welcomes research proposals on development issues pertaining to both suburban and urban locations.

The NAIOP Foundation is particularly interested in receiving proposals for research on the topics that follow. However, this list of topics is not exclusive. We welcome proposals on other topics of interest to NAIOP members, as outlined in the paragraphs above, especially those projects which local NAIOP chapters are co-sponsoring or strongly endorse.
