Thanks for your interest in the Apartment and Office Building Association of Metropolitan Washington (AOBA), the leading membership organization representing commercial office building and multi-family residential real estate in the Washington, DC area!
Advocacy is Key
By joining AOBA, your company gains effective local, state and regional advocacy on issues critical to the area’s real estate industry. With six, full-time registered lobbyists on staff, AOBA’s non-partisan government affairs activities in the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia provide members with substantial savings in utilities, taxes and other regulatory fees and costs-- savings that enhance the value of your membership investment and ultimately save significant dollars for owners, tenants and residents.
Did You Know?
With its unique legal expertise, AOBA challenges utility rate increases in court and has successfully saved members millions of dollars over the past 30 years, by advocating for the reduction of proposed utility rate increases, as well as challenging the distribution of the proposed rates among customer classes and the design of the specific rate charges. There is no other real estate organization in the Washington, DC region that is committed to intervene consistently in utility rate cases.
Education, Information Exchange and Community Outreach
Throughout the year, AOBA provides professional development and certification opportunities. The organization also hosts special events for members to exchange information, connect with peers, recognize excellence through industry awards, and give back to our community. A special educational focus is placed on helping members attain their on-going energy efficiency and sustainability goals.
Added Benefits: BOMA and NAA Membership
In addition, most AOBA members automatically receive the diverse membership benefits offered by the Building Owners and Manager Association International (BOMA), and National Apartment Association (NAA). AOBA is federated with both organizations and serves as the local BOMA and NAA affiliate.
