Advocacy
Take action with NAIOP on issues of concern to the commercial real estate industry, such as adaptive reuse of vacant or underutilized buildings, tax policy that fosters economic growth, and clear, consistent regulatory policy.
US Legislative Priorities
Adaptive Reuse and Housing Affordability
Congress should pass legislation to incentivize the adaptive reuse of vacant and underutilized commercial buildings for residential purposes. Adaptive reuse property conversions can help increase the supply of affordable housing while helping to restore economic vitality to communities dealing with the impact of post-pandemic workplace changes. The Revitalizing Downtowns and Main Streets Act (H.R. 2410), introduced by Representatives Mike Carey (R-OH) and Jimmy Gomez (D-CA), would create a tax incentive to offset the costs of conversions and give local communities a needed tool to increase their supply of rental housing.

Electrification and Energy Policy
Congress needs to pursue comprehensive energy policies designed to meet electricity demand throughout the U.S. economy, including increased investment in electrical grid expansion and modernization, permitting reforms for energy generation and transmission projects, and increased coordination on major regional projects across multiple jurisdictions.

Transportation and Infrastructure
Congress should pass a multiyear reauthorization of surface transportation programs early in 2026, well before they expire later in the year, to give states and local governments the certainty they need to continue current infrastructure projects and plan future ones. Infrastructure policy should promote a streamlined, transparent regulatory environment that reduces costs and minimizes delays in project delivery. At a minimum, current funding levels should be maintained to ensure continued investment in critical transportation and infrastructure projects.
