protecting the economic vitality of its community and the investments of its members.
The Houston Real Estate Council is an industry advocacy organization created to address public policies and regulatory issues affecting the real estate investment and development community in Houston and the surrounding area. The Council is deeply involved in a wide range of issues impacting the ownership and development of real estate property.
The Houston Real Estate Council represents five areas of development: office, industrial, retail, multi-family and single family residential. Many of Houston’s leading and most active real estate development and investment companies are active members. Senior representatives from these member firms take an active role in the organization.
Unlike other industry organizations HREC is a real estate owner’s and developer’s organization. There are no associate members or service providers. Members must be a recognized developer and/or owner/investor in commercial or residential real estate. This membership policy gives the Council an advantage in dealing with public officials. They know that when interacting with members of the HREC, they are dealing directly with the owners and developers whose operations are impacted by a policy or action being considered.
