More than 400 commercial real estate leaders from across Northern California convened at the Hyatt Embarcadero in San Francisco for the NAIOP NorCal Symposium 2026, a first-of-its-kind regional gathering that brought together the San Francisco, Silicon Valley, and Sacramento Valley chapters. Attendees repeatedly described the event as a true “who’s who of commercial real estate,” reflecting the depth and influence of professionals in the room and the collaborative spirit across markets.

This year brought significant victories for our industry, including the successful passage of AB 1384, our sponsored legislation focused on unlawful detainer court reform, and key progress on the warehouse fix bill, SB 415.

On the events front, CBPA hosted several impactful gatherings—including the Strategic Issues Conference earlier this month, the California Commercial Real Estate Summit in August, and the long-awaited return of the Legislative All-Star Luncheon in March. Read the full CBPA End-of-Year Wrap-Up
