We want to equip our members with the best networking opportunities, the best knowledge and the best practices - so they can make the best decisions. The bottom line: We want our members to build more profitable businesses. 

We encourage you to lay the groundwork for your continuing success by joining NAIOP today. Here’s why:

Get Connected
If you want to be in the game, you have to know the players. NAIOP allows members to connect with others in the commercial real estate industry, locally and throughout North America, to develop new business relationships, solidify deals and share experiences with colleagues. Being a member of NAIOP Greater Toronto Chapter breaks down formal barriers and facilitates the ability to meet and simply chat. Whether you're a newcomer to the business or a seasoned executive, the benefits are priceless. Deals are not made in isolation. They are made by people who are well connected and well informed.

Get Plugged In
NAIOP Greater Toronto Chapter organizes and creates the perfect environment for members to meet, exchange ideas and get plugged into the industry's latest news; all in a positive, cordial atmosphere. Chapter events include breakfast sessions with guest lecturers, highly popular golf tournaments, bus tours to intriguing destinations, fun ski events and formal dinner receptions. In the business world, sometimes the best deals are conceived in a friendly social atmosphere; not always in the office setting.

Be Informed
Don't get left behind. Be informed. Today's commercial real estate industry is constantly changing. The complexity of the business and its rapid growth create huge challenges for professionals who want to stay in touch with the latest legislation, policies and trends.  NAIOP Greater Toronto Chapter provides the opportunity for members to participate in learning seminars, panel discussions, and provides valuable online links to publications. Members can stay on top of news, market research, important trends and related industry activities.

Celebrate Excellence
NAIOP celebrates the best and the brightest. In any industry, it is important to recognize individuals and corporations that shine above the rest - those who excel and demonstrate leadership and innovation. The Chapter's annual Real Estate Excellence (REX) Awards program is the forum for honouring such achievements. The REX Awards and Gala Event continues to get gain notoriety every year. It is now the premier showcase for the best in commercial and industrial real estate in the GTA.

Knowledge Base
NAIOP firmly believes Knowledge is Power. The association provides an online resource guide for continuing education and professional accreditation programs, linking members with relevant university programs, seminars and associations. When NAIOP members learn more and know more, our organization and the whole industry become stronger.  

Strength in Numbers
NAIOP Greater Toronto Chapter is the eighth largest of 57 NAIOP chapters across North America. This extensive network of more than 15,000 members represents a wealth of contacts, information and insight into various geographical markets. This expands the realm of business opportunities and business relationships for our Chapter members. 

Maximize Exposure
The Chapter's Sponsorship Program helps companies maximize marketing exposure by elevating their profile within the association's extensive network. The purpose of the program is to let the industry know who you are, what you do and how you represent potential business opportunities and partnerships.

Exclusive Access
Only NAIOP Greater Toronto Chapter members have access to the organization's online Membership Directory. It is the quick and efficient way to locate other members and get information about them. It is also a great data bank of contacts from which to develop business relationships. If your scope of business transcends boundaries, it is a valuable resource in finding a service partner in other parts of North America.

Connect with the Community
The Chapter is deeply committed to supporting communities where members live, work and operate. It subscribes to the view that strong, healthy communities benefit everyone. NAIOP Greater Toronto Chapter proudly supports the efforts of organizations such as the Geneva Center for Autism and the Canadian Alpine Ski Team (Alpine Canada) as it prepares for the 2010 Olympics.

 

Finally, in this economy, you want to make sure that your investments go further. By joining NAIOP you can save up to $200 in savings per year for Chapter events. For example, NAIOP members attend our breakfast events for free (versus $50.00 for non-members). That’s great value for your membership dollars.
