The Real Estate Roundtable’s business and trade association leaders identify, analyze, and coordinate positions on public policies to ensure a cohesive industry voice is heard by government officials and the public.
We remain committed to advocating for national policies that support economic stability, job expansion, and long-term economic growth.

See statistics that show how the real estate industry supports economic growth, millions of jobs and billions in economic development, local property and school taxes, and contributions to Americans’ retirement savings.
To put that into perspective, the value of America’s commercial real estate is nearly 39%-47% of the market capitalization of all U.S. publicly traded companies.
Roughly two-thirds of commercial real estate debt relates to non-residential property with the remainder financing multifamily residential rental property (five or more units).
These jobs include new commercial building development and operations of existing
commercial buildings in 2021.
In addition, real estate employs millions more indirectly in fields such as mortgage
lending, accounting, legal services, investment advising, and environmental consulting.
Real estate plays an important role in investment portfolios to build diversified portfolios and manage risk. Real estate demonstrates valuable and distinct investment characteristics that have made it a staple in pension investment portfolios.
