Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Urban Land Institute (ULI): ULI is a global research and education organization focused on land use and real estate development. Comparable as a research-knowledge platform serving real estate professionals, but much larger and broader in scope than ERES.
• Counselors of Real Estate (CRE): CRE is an international consortium of real estate experts producing industry research and education. Comparable as a knowledge/research community serving senior real estate professionals, though more advisory than academic.
• INREV: INREV is the European association for investors in non-listed real estate vehicles and an ERES sister organization. Focuses on investment vehicles and standards rather than academic research, but shares the European real estate professional audience.
• Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS): RICS is a global professional body for land, property, and construction, and a named ERES sister organization. Overlaps in serving real estate professionals, but RICS is much broader (standards, certification, advocacy) versus ERES's narrow academic-research focus.

Direct peers

• American Real Estate Society (ARES): ARES is the US counterpart in the IRES federation, operating annual conferences, the Journal of Real Estate Research, and a PhD network. Directly comparable in mission, structure, and product set, just serving a different geography.
• Pacific Rim Real Estate Society (PRRES): PRRES is the Pacific Rim regional society within the IRES federation, organizing annual real estate research conferences. Same federation membership and parallel product structure as ERES.
• Asian Real Estate Society (ASRES): ASRES is the Asian regional society within the IRES federation, organizing academic conferences on real estate. Comparable sister society operating in a different continent with the same academic-conference model.
• African Real Estate Society (AFRES): AFRES is the African regional society within the IRES federation, organizing real estate research conferences. Direct sister society with same conference-driven academic model as ERES.
• Latin American Real Estate Society (LARES): LARES is the Latin American regional society within the IRES federation, serving real estate academics and practitioners across LATAM. Same IRES structure and academic-conference focus as ERES.

Regional players

• Gesellschaft für Immobilienwirtschaftliche Forschung (gif): gif is the German real estate research society and a supporting organization of ERES (sponsors the Best Paper Award on Housing Policy). Comparable academic-research mission but operates regionally within Germany rather than Europe-wide.
