ORLANDO, FL– NAIOP Central Florida, the Commercial Real Estate Development Association, in conjunction with NAIOP Corporate, has launched a new name and brand identity that clearly represents its membership’s expansion into a broader scope of commercial real estate development.
Formerly known as the National Association of Industrial and Office Properties, the 18,000-member association is now known solely as NAIOP.
A definer, the Commercial Real Estate Development Association, complements the name and signifies the association’s strategic shift of encompassing all professionals within the industry.
This change will provide NAIOP members with even greater benefit and value and will open the door to an even larger membership, enabling NAIOP Central Florida to offer additional resources while expanding its reach to multiple levels within the industry. NAIOP Central Florida is one of 56 NAIOP chapters throughout North America and is the leading organization for all commercial real estate development professionals within the Central Florida area.
“NAIOP has always been known as the preeminent commercial real estate organization,” said 2009 chapter president Jeff K. McFadden, (top right photo) SIOR, managing partner of Taurus Southern Investments, LLC, a subsidiary of Boston-based Taurus Investment Holdings, LLC.“I am honored that my peers have chosen me to represent the commercial real estate industry in Central Florida.”
“NAIOP is the leading association for the development industry, extending its reach beyond office and industrial product types into mixed-use, medical office, retail and more,” said Thomas J. Bisacquino, (bottom right photo) NAIOP Corporate president in Herndon, VA.
