Commercial Real Estate: Essential for Commerce and Community

The National Association of REALTORS(r) (NAR) has always played an active role in the commercial real estate realm, supporting an industry that is all-important to our markets, our communities and everyday business. Commercial real estate creates the spaces and places where we live, work and play. Commercial practitioners reshape skylines, revitalize communities and reimagine the future. Commercial buildings are prominent and purposeful in every corner of the country. Now, excitement and momentum are building as NAR launches into a new phase that underscores our commitment, not just to our commercial members, but to the broader commercial community. We're increasing our investment to expand commercial resources, enhance educational programs, scale up strategic partnerships and raise awareness about the positive and powerful impact of commercial real estate. 'Our commercial members are instrumental in building thriving communities, and NAR is laser-focused on being the essential business partner our members need to succeed.' RPR Commercial includes over a million active commercial listings and 56 million off-market properties for prospecting. REACH Commercial helps launch and accelerate the most promising new technology companies in commercial real estate and adjacent industries to ensure practitioners have access to pertinent, powerful tech tools. To date, REACH Commercial has invested in 40-plus tech companies. And with a network of 170,000 commercial members, there are endless opportunities for partnerships and dealmaking.
