Home prices in MA have jumped ten-fold since 1980. If you missed our event on the housing crisis last week featuring speakers from MHP, Beacon Communities LLC, Trinity Financial + Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC), check out the recent coverage from Scott Van Voorhis in Contrarian Boston.

Opportunities for creative problem solving abound with a new gubernatorial administration. We NAIOP Massachusetts look forward to working with Maura Healey and Clowfoe as they tackle the issues important to the CRE industry!

Thank you for your dedication and commitment to the people of Massachusetts. We here at NAIOP are grateful to have worked with you, Lt. Governor Kim Driscoll and your entire Administration for the past 8 years and wish you the best of luck on your next adventure.

A few moments ago, Massachusetts shattered yet another glass ceiling by swearing in Governor Maura Healey and Lt. Gov Clowfoe. NAIOP looks forward to working with the new Administration and congratulates all of our constitutional officers sworn in today. #mapoli

What an inspiring speech by Governor Maura Healey today! This is a leader who is focused on economic competitiveness and working with the business community to produce housing, advance equity, create jobs, and make MA an even better place to live and work.

When an economist uses the phrase "urban doom loop," that seems...concerning.

“Given the current economic climate, NAIOP is grateful that the administration recognizes that a phased implementation of this increase is the best path forward…” said NAIOP CEO Tamara Small in response to the Planning Department recent vote to increase linkage rates. #bospoli

While IDP is a tool to address our housing crisis, new research from Harvard Kennedy School shows that accompanying incentives & more are critical to ensuring such a policy doesn't backfire. Read more about why IDP could harm, not help the housing shortage. bit.ly/3Y4VS2J

Proud to serve on the Board Boston Municipal Research Bureau and support this organization. Its research and analysis are critical to the future of the City of Boston.

As a proud Boston University alum I was particularly excited about the recent NAIOP Massachusetts tour of the new BU Computing & Data Sciences (CDS) the school's first fossil fuel-free bldg. A great event captured by BostonVirtualImaging here youtube.com/watch?v=R3_qe6…

Almost 75% of Boston's operating revenue comes from property taxes. That's up from a little more than half in 2002. That rise is substantial! It's not just being "hyperobsessed with commercial vacancies," it's being cognizant of the city's fiscal health. boston.gov/departments/bu…

The housing crisis in MA is real. This outstanding editorial by The Boston Globe shows it's not new, but it threatens the future of the Commonwealth. Solutions exist and NAIOP Massachusetts looks forward to working with state and local officials to get it done. bit.ly/43jSZPk

We must produce desperately needed housing at all income levels if we are to combat the housing crisis, & Gateway Cities are a critical piece of the puzzle. Thank you Boston Globe Opinion for showcasing the successful HDIP program + the data that shows why expanded resources are needed.

Ed's work as City Manager diversified housing stock by fostering the creation of thousands of new housing units- at all income levels- and attracted extraordinary economic investment to Worcester. Great pick and we look forward to working with him in his new role.
