Capital Challenge

The Capital Challenge Committee focuses on those situations which provide mutually beneficial opportunities to both graduate level college students and our members for meaningful interaction.   In 2010 the Committee began the Capital Challenge, a real estate case study program between teams of graduate students from local Master's of Real Estate programs.  We are pleased to announce that Georgetown University is the 2012 Capital Challenge winner.  If you are interested in working with an exciting group of graduate students, the future of our industry, please consider joining the Capital Challenge Committee.

Capital Markets 

The NAIOP DC | MD Capital Markets Subcommittee focuses on issues related to the capital markets that support Commercial Real Estate.   Specifically, the group seeks to stay current on events that impact both the equity and debt markets as well as those which will affect the ability of developers and investors to obtain capital for both construction and existing real estate projects.
