President's Message

Serving as President in 2025 alongside top notch commercial real estate professionals and dedicated volunteers in our region is a true honor. Having participated in our chapter for the last ten years and previously in Washington D.C., I’ve built friendships and a professional network that would not have been possible without NAIOP. While segments of the commercial real estate business are experiencing challenging market conditions, our chapter is laser focused on delivering value to our membership. With approximately 120 chapter volunteers across programming and committees, we are here to serve you!

NAIOP SFBA held its 11th Annual Best of the Bay Awards on Thursday, March 13^th at the historic Julia Morgan Ballroom. Luis Belmonte was back as master of ceremonies employing his famous gong.

Lively and upbeat, the Best of the Bay is a unique commercial real estate awards competition which features attendees picking the winners in real time using keypads. As each award is introduced nominees give a creative pitch to steer votes in their direction. If they fail to wow the audience or drone on too long, they are gonged!

Congratulations to This Year’s Winners!
