The voice of
metropolitan
real estate.
We represent approximately 166 million square feet of commercial office space and 480,000 residential units across Washington D.C., Maryland, and Virginia.
We believe that a thriving metropolitan area begins with a stable, progressive, and well-managed real estate market.
The Apartment and Office Building Association of Metropolitan Washington (AOBA) is more than a trade organization. We are the leading advocates for the commercial and residential real estate industry, dedicated to fostering a market where our members can support the growth of the D.C. region. Through strategic communications, government affairs, and deep industry resources, we ensure your voice is heard where it matters most.
An informed approach to advocacy.
Our process is built on engagement. We actively involve a diverse membership base—owners, operators, and suppliers—to identify the critical issues affecting the D.C. metro landscape. Whether it's policy development, utility regulation, or economic shifts, we develop informed positions that influence the future of our city.
Through the AOBA Alliance, Inc., we extend our value into operational efficiency. By facilitating low-cost energy procurement solutions, we help our members manage costs effectively, allowing them to reinvest in the properties that house our region's workforce and residents.
Beyond the halls of government, we act as a hub for professional excellence. We host the region's most significant real estate gatherings—from the Annual Meeting to the Commercial Award Celebration—fostering a culture of recognition and high-level networking.
